Just found out...
yesterday that my nephew got shot in right arm. He's been flown to a hospital in Germany. Thank Goodness it's only an injury but still I'm fuming angry at the Idiots of the White House who started this illegal war. So many lives lost and/or shattered--all for what??? God, let this nightmare be over soon--let's all make a pact to, for the sake of all young Americans, to get rid of this evil Regime and those evil minions called Republicans!! Deep down I'm sooooo f*#kin' pissed...I'm sure you all know what's going thru my head.

5. Thank you..
very much for your responses and prayers. I will keep you posted. From what I heard so far is that the injury may be severe that he may not be able to use his arm again--I hope that's not the case. My sister is so worried not only for him but also for his brother who is also in the Army and stationed out in Iraq. He was sent back home a couple of months ago--he was staying in Colorado. He didn't want to go back to Iraq--hoping to laying low. But the Army started tracking him down, found him and gave him his notice to report back. This is soooo f*#kin' insane! Gotta calm down--again Thank you.

17. OMG...
I'm soooo overwhelmed with all your responses. Thank you sooo much! It's always nice to know that no one is alone when something like this happens. Again from my family, Thank you, thank you, thank you. We haven't broken this news to his grandparents yet. I know my mother will not take this well. She's a strong woman (hey she had 7 kids). But I know it will just devastate her. So for all mothers, fathers and grandparents who have children, spouses serving in Iraq and Afghanistan pray for them as well and let's above all else really put an effort to rid the White House of the evil that presides in it once and for all. Thank you.

I pray your nephew makes a full recovery, but not too speedy, I don't want them to send him back there.

:grouphug:

Oh yes, please thank him for his service and send our love & respect to him. :thumbsup:

11. 10,000
That's how many I've heard have been listed as casualties. And the Pentagon resfuses to allow any returning casualty to be interviewed by the news media - out of sight, out of mind.

Best wishes to your nephew for a speedy recovery. Hopefully he'll be able to get out because of it.

15. hope is on the way!
I am such a wussy! Every time I read a post like this and the following responses, I get teary-eyed! I try not to get too angry, but I always do and then I get sad. My heart breaks because so many people fear the sound of the phone because they don't know who will be at the other end. As bad as it is to wish something on someone, I wish that the ones so ready for war would feel the terror and fear of those who have loved ones at war. Maybe if they did, they would not be so ready to engage in occupation!

I hope your nephew comes home soon. Prepare yourself for his other wounds, not the one to his arm but those to his soul and spirit. May he heal quickly and be stronger! I also hold thoughts for you (and those like you) who have to wait for loved ones to come home safely!

Brightest Blessings!

16. God bless he's alive
In the midst of a tragedy, it is a blessing that your nephew still
has all his limbs and his life.

Tell him to save the bloody bandages. Later he can post them
to:

1600 pennsylvannia avenue
Washington DC

Also:

10 downing street
London, England

Both these addresses feed on the blood of soldiers, so why not
give them some.
