2. No......this is not worth watching, imo |
|
(it's a propaganda piece)
and if you call "g-d as your witness" in this case, I'm disappointed, b/c I've usually respected your opinions/posts to this point.
Peace, M_Y_H

4. I just used that phrase to punctuate. |
|
On the other hand, it was hardly a "propaganda piece". That was a story about a young man who went to fight a shitty and meaningless war and has returned home scarred and is trying to dig out, against a lot of odds. He's just one of a legion of them as well. We are gonna be swamped with young men and women just like him, if we aren't already.
What the fuck is wrong with this place anymore? Is empathy no longer found on DU?
And if you no longer respect my opinions, well, I have done 55 years not worrying about whether you respect them or not, and I can do another 55 standing on my hands.

doesn't have to rely on the opinions of people like you and/or me.
People can whole ly think/figure things out for themselves.....as RIGHTFULLY they should. And then 'go'/vote for that!

3. Thanks for posting this Tandalayo! This is exactly why war should always be the last resort |
|
Unfortunately, the brave young men and women who have chosen to serve their country by joining the military are nothing more than pawns in the game to some of our "leaders". Hope this gets spread far and wide!

5. My point in posting this, exactly. |
|
One very human story, told extremely well. I have no animosity against this young man. I save that for Dear Leader and his merry band of war criminals and thieves.

but hopeful as you said. My sons are probably about his age (did he say?) and I can't imagine having them deal with something this bad. Wait until all these families see what a sham this war and occupation is. The anger will be unfathomable and rightly so.
Yes, hope and rage. Two things we have all become accustomed to since the selection. I want to feel good again but then we have to somehow help all of the soldiers coming home like this. It will be hard to ever feel good again because it will take a long time to heal them.
Sending healing thoughts and peace to those who have had those things ripped away from them.
Thank you.

You shut the hell up.
You care to explain? I have no clue what you are so freaking pissed about but then I don't think you do either. If you can't back it up then you shut the hell up.
I think you are in the wrong place.
Now, have a nice evening.

That was one of the trolls from over at LiveLeak. None of them are veterans, except of Battlefield2 and the wanking wars in their parent's basement.

26. He was certainly pissed about something. |
|
He really let me have it, lol. I could not figure out what I wrote that could cause that kind of reaction then I saw his second post and I knew, he was just an angry idiot who could not say why, he was just pissed off.

They hate muslims, jews, call for killing of liberals and much more, over there. It has interesting videos, but the participants are largely scum. There is a small retinue of those who do battle daily with the scum, but they are outnumbered. They are the children of Michael Savage.

22. I know exactly what he was talking about when he talked about the older vets staring at him. |
|
I went with my husband to his first VA appt. We were stared at from the moment we got out of our car to the moment we left the building. We both felt weird, but the doctors could not have been better! Fortunately he has received excellent care from his VA docs.
I wish this was mandatory viewing for all high school seniors. Thanks for a great link!

It must be so hard for the older vets to see the next generation of injured soldiers, like a repeating nightmare.
