I could post some of the hundreds of thousands more Iraqi deaths but I am out of energy. They do not matter to the majority of ameriKans.

:cry:

1. how the heck do "they" preach non violent demonstration

while bombing the hell outta Iraq killing hundreds of thousands of civilians?

[Joe for Clark]

2. No, they do not know what war really means.

They are just good at "beating their chest".

I think we are better at thinking. And I knew kids that died there, our kids. The sick thing is I don't think they ever did know.

Some "Brave New World", huh??

I am SO looking forward to November!!!

3. what war are you talking about?

sorry i`m flashing back to the 60`s when the networks really covered a war...you are right no one cares but the people who have lost their loved ones

[leftchick]

4. I remember the 60s

which makes this even worse. I remember real activism and real media coverage and real dead bodies on my tv every night at the age of ten. That is what made me anti-war in 1968.

7. I'd love to flash back to the 60's if I could.

I don't think you were responding to me, but I'd like to answer.

War, it really is all the same.

My family fought WWII to Vietnam and my kid is fighting in Iraq and I intimately knew his friend that got killed in Baghdad - played in my house many times, so.

Selective war had the same meaning to me as selective amputation - would you selectively cut off your arm? - because we as a country, we did just that.

They were just kids in 1942 and kids in 1968 and they are just kids today.

We are supposed to be the adults, aren't we???

5. RIP, another Marine brother killed

Put into an untenable situation by his lessers. Sorry man, hopefully, your family will find peace one day...

6. my nephew is a 20 yr old Marine

He is a nucklehead who believes he will never go to Iraq. :(

8. Here is a heads up from a military brat.

My kid in 2nd div, he did two tours - and he is getting "retrained" to go back this summer- that would make it three tours. What could they possibly be "retraining" a guy that already did two tours for, you know?

I really think something is coming down, I really do.

And I would never trust the army - for anything (or other services). They lie for a living.

Best to you,

Jope

11. I don't trust any branch of the US Military

hope and peace to you and your family,

12. I went twice + Afghanistan

As of the start of OIF III, I went for OIF I and II.5, 55% of the USMC had not done a tour for OEF or OIF, due to the size of the Corps, a intensive look at the eligibilty of every Marine was conducted.

I don't want to alarm you but depending on your nephews MOS and time remaining until his EAS, he may have to do a rotation.

Just keep your spirits up!

15. I have no doubt he will

My sister is the one in denial about it.

9. I feel for the mutilated and mamed soldiers

In 10 years will we care???

13. What a handsome young man.

I wish these kinds of photos were in the newspapers instead of the military photos where they aren't smiling. Pix like this one show personality and heart. And he was like this because he was a nobody, but because somebody loved him.

Bless those soldiers and the families and friends that love them.

And thank you for your post. I'll go weep now.

14. Went to a marine's visitation last night

He was killed last Wed. His grandparents are friends of ours. When I hugged that gold-star mom I was the one that fell apart. How many more???
