State Of The Soldier Forum Ashley Joppa-Hagemann

[ARBuilder1776]

Its pending cause they are waiting for you to go away. They don't want attention brought to the fact that soldiers would rather commit suicide than go back to war.

Keep fighting and force them to go public with the reality of what they do to these soldiers.

[FearKnotUS]

Thank you Ashley. So very sad... Stay strong.

I've lost two military buds to suicide as well having my own problems with depression and suicidal thoughts..The VA does jack sh*t to help people with PTSD and depression

[eddiemaxblack]

This is a heartbreaking story.

This is one of the reasons I like Ron Paul: end these senseless wars and bring all the troops home.

Very good testimony by Ms Joppa-Hagemann, who I hope will be able to recover and that she'll get plenty of moral support after this loss of her husband. I think it's not unfair or unrealistic to say that Rangers command basically murdered him, as well as others. It's not collateral damage. It's basically murder.

Hopefully, many USA'ns will see and listen to this testimony and that it'll help to wake up military families that still think it's alright that Washington lied the USA into war.

I feel terrible for these kids - most of them join up thinking they're protecting the country and their families and they're so honest and earnest about it. The recruiters are slimy little scumbags who prey on these people and should be arrested. Whenever I run into someone going into the military it's always because they have nowhere else to turn and I feel so awful for them. Please anti-recruit any kid you see who's contemplating signing up. I'm so sorry for your loss Ashley.

Ashely - you have an important story to tell - and I applaud yur efforts and yur courage - the message would become more powerful if you could hone your skills as a public speaker. Join a local Toastmasters and they will teach you the basic skills of impacting an audience to your maximum ability. Your message is too important to wing it - Public speaking is a skill - it takes training and knowledge to maximize your effectiveness. Dont reduce this opportunity by being ill prepared for battle.

and these filthy politicians who claim to care about soldiers all around the western nations don´t give a damn about the fate of this women and similar cases. if they want war let the cheney´s and rumsfeld´s and cameron´s and sarkozy´s of this world fight and hopefully we´ll get rid of them as they join the long list of "collateral damage" victims.

May he rest peacefully...all he ever wanted!

[dlrwtms]

Thank you Todd for posting this, & Ashley for speaking out..

Yes, "Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bush, the lot of them should be made to watch this video every morning before breakfast."

[smercsj96]

Ex military here, I got out at the very beginning of 911. Anyway, the truth is the government does not care. How much more obvious can it be people-- actions speak louder than words. Its time to stop this country from creating wars. We need to protest, we need to make the government fear the people. They are truly out of control. I am sorry for her loss, truly a very sad story.

[FranciscoKGuerreiro]

My support is with this family...stop the fucking wars and the use of humans to the benefit of the elites... Let´s keep strong as a family.. Best regards from Portugal..

[vita9n]

Impeach President Obama ASAP.

[cisserosmiley]

Ashley is extremely courageous, please support our military and their families.

[NineInchNachos]

is that kings books in Tacoma?

I will remember your story Ashley Joppa-Hagemann /

[expatted]

America sucks. Bunch of assholes.

[GL0BEmaster]

@ToddBoyle It's important to take the time to hear this young widow tell her story.

One of the most cruel aspects of American society is that people are too busy multitasking to pay attention to what is happening to them and what the costs of their complacency are.

Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bush, the lot of them should be made to watch this video every morning before breakfast.

[SeymourLauren]

@GL0BEmaster

What... You think Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, Wolfowitz et al. deserve to have TV in their cells?

[SeymourLauren]

Shows how hard up the military is, that they have to keep reusing these soldiers over and over until there is no more blood to suck from their sorry bodies or minds.

Rumsfeld and ilk are truly vampires, sucking the life blood out of their victims, and if they were ever exposed to the light of day it would surely kill them.

[ARBuilder1776]

@GL0BEmaster It wouldn't bother them cause they have no compassion for us. They think we are not equal to them. They are the elite and we are their slaves. If we die, so be it. Keep in mind these are the same people that said using pliers on little boys testicles to get get their parents to confess to being terrorists is ok. Just look at what they do at the Bohemian Grove. These are some truly evil bastards.

[guylassen37]

I feel really bad for her but her husband he not only reenlisted but entered the rangers which is far more demanding than the regular army. Once again my heart goes out ot the family but this is what the military does

[MojoExodus]

@guylassen37

@guylassen37 You might want to try and actually watch the whole vid. Then, you might have enough sense to delete your comment.
