Shocked that this soldier was sent back to Iraq

[submerged99]

I was reading an article today about three soldiers from Fort Carson, Co who had been killed this past week. I was shocked to see that one of them was on his third tour and had already been wounded two different times, and yet he was still sent back.

>Spc. Ismael Solorio took a sniper's bullet through his jaw in 2004 and shrapnel to his hand from a roadside bomb during his first two tours in Iraq. He earned two Purple Hearts.

On his third tour, the new father and husband took a hit he could not survive.

Jesus Solorio said he last heard from his big brother March 29, via an e-mail message. He said his brother, who had struggled after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, sounded "lively."


Ismael seemed more able to handle the pain associated with ongoing surgeries to his jaw and his many missing teeth once he had a child.

"After he came home on leave in January, it was like a total change," Jesus said. "Once he knew he had a daughter, it uplifted him.">

Are these the guys going back for "the surge?" The article states he was having ONGOING surgery to repair his jaw and missing teetch, had PTSD and was still sent back.

1. I wish I could believe there is a hell

because clearly every single man in the White House and the Pentagon belong in it as architects and enablers of madness and murder.

Karma will have to do.

2. I wish I could believe in karma. But at least the evidence for hell is undeniable

I know there's a hell. In fact, I can point it out to you on a map.
What I can't do is assure you that there's any justice about who goes there.
