How heroic slaughtering and torturing. Soon your own greed will have you killing each other, and the world would chuckle if you were the only ones effected.

You have done nothing to prevent anything and continue to do nothing. You are the problem. And for those of you who would question how many the soldier has killed, how about the number of people killing each other in that/those countries? Enough said on that subject.

A father has returned home to his family. Certainly, the best outcome for this scenario.

Awe! That’s so cute

You obviously have NO IDEA what it’s like to have a family member in a war zone. My husband has been active duty in the USAF for over 20 years, he’s damn good at his job, and he doesn’t get to pick and choose which wars he has to fight in. He honestly does “do it so you don’t have to.”

Yes, better luck next war. Maybe the next war will be one we didn’t start, possibly over something legitimate.

‘Vietnam had a draft. This is an all volunteer army.
They are not doing it “so we don’t have to”. No one had to.’

So if no one had volunteered we just would have said “oh well, better luck next war!” Really?

“Also, she must have wondered why someone had been training a camera on her the whole time she was in class (also known as the “reality show surprise conundrum”)”

Kids aren’t THAT hard to trick you know. They still work under the assumption that humans tell the truth by default.

Can a few people on here have a nice touching moment without you crapping all over everything? Take your agenda elsewhere please. And regarding your staged comment. I suppose it could be staged. You may not be aware of this right now, but many people have family over in Iraq and it’s quite common for schools to adopt these little video projects so the troops can see their kids and the kids can work out some of their feelings about the whole thing. It’s actually intended to be a deliberate exercise. But I’m sure you MUST see some bigger conspiracy we’re all missing, because I’m sure that this could only be propaganda. No, kids don’t cry when reunited with parents after years of separation, never.

A big one is the filmed marriage proposal.

Another one (not as much lately, thank goodness) is the wedding procession/wedding dinner choreographed dance extravaganza.

And of course the military member on leave surprises family member is the latest trend.

If real then this should be a private moment between father and daughter, doing this in front of the class and videotaping it for the internet shows extremely poor taste.

If fake then all these people commenting are being manipulated, some of whom may have loved ones in Iraq or Afghanistan as well as the others spouting pro-war slogans like “If you don’t want to stand behind our troops, please, feel free to stand in front of them” (now at least two major Facebook groups by that name).

*sniff* *sniff*

Why don’t we bring back all the mommys and daddys from Iraq.

That would be change I could believe in…

But NOOOO! stupid people in charge have no balls!

I support our troops, and have never said anything derogatory towards them, but at the same time I don’t support the current conflicts. That is my right.

Would it have been just as “touching” if he came back from a holiday or a 2 month long cruise to the caribbean?

dumb

Yes this is touching.

But hopefully they’ll bring all the troops home from this pointless insanity. No American lives are worth losing over something thousands of miles away.

Watch at your own risk.

And really, XuYu, you show your ignorance when you post silly trolling comments like that.
