[pun1sh4]

Good video, makes things more objective.

May I ask about name of the background song? Thanks.

This war is a travesty.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost nothing to the Amercan taxpayers and that is because country of China is funding the wars. Have you ever wondered why the United State's external debt is now $9.5 trillion dollars? Well there is your answer!

Thanks for your comments. I see nothing wrong with presenting the facts of the cost of war. The message of the video was simply that, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has become the costliest war next to WWII. Nothing more, nothing less. Your interpretation is your own. I'm happy that you are proud of your husband and I wish for his safe return and for the safe return of all those in Iraq and Afghanistan.

well, you must be pretty darn special. Why I bet Mr. George Bush called you personally and told you all the details. Wow, if you were'nt such a distinguished person, i would use one of our rights that my grandpa fought for in WWII and say a little prayer for all the people like you. ...But, you know what? I think i'll go ahead and do that anyway.

i swear, people like:

are AJs that are paid to go online to spread the pro-war message.

[Shaelyn2006]

Yup. All the lives thats were given, all the husbands who couldn't be there for their precious childs birth, and ofcourse, i can't forget who i'm talking to-all the money that was spent- that and so much more was given so that silly people like yourself can say and do what they please no matter how it may hurt others. And just one more thing- how special of a person must you be in order to know all the facts of this war and all the past wars that proves it to be a waste of time.

[Shaelyn2006]

Majority of this ill video is all about money. Wow, you my friend are one awesome person. I just hope you put the message across you were going for-Because no matter how inappropriate this video is, you have the right to show it, only thanks to the past "expensive" wars our country has endured.

[Shaelyn2006]

I am the proud wife of a US Marine. I am also a mother-to-be. My husband will unfortunately, not be able to be there when our baby is born; he will be in Iraq. ...And I couldn't be more proud. He is doing what too many other cowards would never even think of doing, but instead do have the balls to sit at HOME and write all about the war and what they are so certain are facts on their computers.

There has not been a draft for quite a long time. Your husbands choice - no one else's.

It sure would be nice if the pseudo-news media in the U.S. spent as much time reporting on funding the wars as they do on reporting fluff.

"coward" that's definitely in the vocabulary of a military loser family. Iraqi's and Afghanis have the right to defend against American invaion.
