Mariah Wilder only wanted one thing for Christmas -for her Daddy to come home from Iraq. Sgt. Matthew Wilder found he would be able to come home to Kentucky for the holidays while going to aviation school. His wife arranged for an assembly at his daughters’ school, where Mariah and her sister were presented with a large box. Link -via Video Sift
I really see no sense in some small family drama just because, you know, they are americans. Because of stuff like this we tend to forget the things we are doing - by the hand of people like Sgt. Matthew - in Iraq, Afghanistan and who knows where else...
I submit, MMYC (may make you cry).
Karma comes back for such hate and anger with people who comment so disrespectfully against other people they don't even know.
On another note, the spouse was a Marine reservist in Iraq during 2003. Am-trac driver. I doubt he'd ever go into enclosed quarters like that box if he could avoid it.
Happy Holidays. Even to the cynics.
I understand that some american soldiers are there to really help the people in iraq. But do the iraqis have a better live than before the invasion? Was it really worth it for the people in iraq and the americans?
Every innocent person that is killed is one big shame for all the soldiers that go to war. If you become a soldier you accept that you can be part of a mission in which innocent people are killed, in which other families get destroyed.
You are are part of this. Does the end result really justify all means? How many people does it take to make a right wrong? Violence and Murder must never be an option. Never.
And, clearly, whoever this Sgt. Matthew is you keep talking about single-handedly started the war in the Middle East, right? He's not a soldier doing the job the government pays and trained him to do, he's obviously a cold-blooded killer.
Find a new cause, Isperion, your shit was old three years ago.
All those innocent women, babies, children, men, grandparents... dead.
I dont know I only have 3 friends in iraq and they all signed up for different reasons. One likes to shoot things, the other he wanted to get away from home, and the last one for some reason thought it would be a good idea. For me personaly I dont like to be a Pawn in other peoples games, so no army for me.
All these pro-war people will be signing another tune once the pres is a Dem. Then it will all be- well, reality will come calling, lets leave it at that.
