May 7, 2012 - This is indeed horrible but i dont get it, why does every one think militarys are heroes? I mean they kill people, is that really heroic?

May 7, 2012 - killing is in human blood whether you believe it or not. anyone of you are perfectly capable of taking anothers life if need be. strip away everything from you and all your basic needs, you'll kill just to get one of the basic needs. taking a life is easy, its having to deal with it after that comes difficult. you think any of those soldiers want to go kill, except for maybe your psychotic ones but thats a whole different ball park. these soldiers go over there so that they can prevent a crisis.

James expedition Says:

May 22, 2012 - this soldier with some common decency an humanity accepts what the USA has done in Iraq was wrong and seeking forgiveness-it's not his fault he was sent on the premise of liberating a country that in fact opposed the USA,and this opposition grew, only to discover they were there to steal oil-Cheney you cock how about giving some of your oil profits to men like this.

May 24, 2012 - don't glorify this war anymore peeps.

uncoverization Says:

May 25, 2012 - or maybe some of that profit to the orphans filling the demolished streets in iraq...sad sad story of a country bein terrorised times and times over again.

James expedition Says:

May 25, 2012 - agreed

Greg Heffron Says:

May 27, 2012 - Baby killers and widow makers - PLEASE STOP telling me you are securing my freedom from some Iraq or Afgan kid or mother, I do not fear them or even care they exist. You are over there getting blown up by old US artillery rounds. Stand up for yourselves and just leave. PTSD is waiting back here for you free of charge. You are a puppet on the strings off the ultra rich. It is comical to see the actors and singers showing their faces for Wounded Warriors - they just know they don't have to go.

May 27, 2012 - Strange no veteran goes Rambo on some politician or a CO in the arms industry.

lgdurocher Says:

May 29, 2012 - well im glad you support soldiers..but your opinion of how Iraqis as a whole feels is a little extreme

lgdurocher Says:

May 29, 2012 - Haha for a moment I thought you said "you have never been a hero" and I was about to get super pissed lol
