Army Ranger Widow Confronts Rumsfeld Over Lies That Convinced Her Husband to Join Military

[ikilledAeris]

with all due respect I think most want to know what happened to him. What did he see and experience that brought this about? Was it simply the normal stress of war? Was he involved in murdering civilians with the other rangers? What happened? Why did he choose to end his life?

[TheGloryfighter1000]

Lol wow what a supprised government elite could give a rats ass about pawns.And Rumsfeld proved it by talking to her like that.And let's face it most soldiers are delusional.I know a ranger and many soldiers alike and they dont even know what thy are really fighting for sad sad thing.

[USN1985dos]

I'd kill myself if that bitch was my wife too.

[TheRagingFoxhound]

@USN1985dos She is attractive. She initially does not seem like a bitch.

You are the bitch for saying that.

[USN1985dos]

@TheRagingFoxhound

Attractiveness does not make one less of a bitch.

You're a bitch for being such a bitch about me calling her a bitch for being a bitch.

[TheRagingFoxhound]

@USN1985dos Haha. Nice.

Well, I just do not see what makes her a bitch.

So what if Saddam had wmd.. America didn't care in the 80s when he used chemical stuff in the war against Iran. But what did Iraqi people do to these young Americans to join the army and serve their pathetic country.. 0 Iraqi's were involved with 9/11 and Saddam had no ties with the so-called Al Qaida.. So why do so many young Americans want to serve their corrupt country in the first place, you guys must be indoctrinated with this from the day you were born.

[sykofreak18]

Why did you cut her off like that..

[tntruther]

Rumsfeld could have been making reference to 911 being an inside job when he said, "...I heard about that", which is great if that is true, because now he can't deny that he ever heard anything about 911 being an inside job. Of course we already know that he knows. How could he not?; he's on the inside! More and more folks are learning about it all the time. Even the first responders are learning. I guess that's why they were not invited to the 10 year anniversary events at Grown Zero.

[stophypocrisy]

When are Americans going to wake up? Our government is a criminal organization that could care less about any of us. If you join the military you are an idiot, maybe a poor ignorant jobless idiot, but an idiot. But know you are killing innocent people and you are a war criminal no different than the psychopaths controlling our government that suckered you into that nightmare. There are no heros because this in war crimes against humanity.

Part 3: The FDA still refused to allow NutraSweet on the market. NutraSweet (aspartame) is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as an additive. It interacts with all antidepressants, L-dopa, Coumadin, hormones, insulin, all cardiac medication and many others. It also is a chemical hyper sensitization drug so that it interacts with vaccines, other toxins, other unsafe sweeteners like Splenda which has a chlorinated base like DDT and can cause auto immune disease.

rest in peace mate

Where is the EXTENDED INTERVIEW that is promised at the end of this segment?? -Thanks!

[edicccc]

some people talk about the cost of ignorance. Most people still believe the 911 attacks were done by a group of Arabs even today. This guy (Hagemann) enlisted in 2002, you can hardly call him ignorant. The propaganda machine is a powerful thing. Even the people opposed to Bush still find it hard to believe that all what happened is based on lies, deceit, propaganda and murder. Cheney seems to believe it himself, he started to believe in his own lies as being the truth.

[explorer2101]

@edicccc

You are right about many still believing the very tall tale we were told about the events of 9/11, despite the 'facts' not matching reality

Probably right too about the Mafia Scum who run the world coming to believe their own lies. They are war criminals & professional liars

The public are not even human to them -just dumb animals kept to earn them a fortune. They have no compassion for the 'Human Resources' they enslave, torture & kill for their own ends & war games

[ainemacdermot]

8-9 combat tours is unheard of in the US military... until now. They are breaking these young people's humanity... and then denying them proper mental healthcare. Shame.

[rumplef]

Rumsfeld is a war criminal and should be prosecuted as such.

[ultimatetravelwriter]

Qualityrkc: That was not only an insensitive comment, but a shameful one. Your ignorance is repulsive and makes me feel sad for you. This man loved this country, he was deceived over time and he tried to quit. Unfortunately, there is no longer a conscientious objector status. The ONLY way out is suicide and unfortunately a lot of our young people are killing themselves to stop the nightmare. He asked for help and all they gave him was psychotropic drugs which increases the urge to commit suicide

[Smaug84]

@ultimatetravelwriter

The US Military is still facing an uphill battle over recognizing PTSD. The legacy of mental disorders not being treated the same as the loss of a limb, instead more of an issue of courage, is exactly why we have the problem of suicides in many cases. HBO has a documentary that they've shown in the past called "Wartorn 1861 - 2010" showing how slow our society has been at adjusting to the problem.

[Smaug84]

The cost of ignorance is a high price indeed.

[qualityrkc]

Ashley I am sorry to break it to you but your husband signed up for this. I know he didnt expect what happened to happen bc of his worldview but you cannot say the information wasn't available. We knew these wars were false bc we took the time to learn about american imperialism in recent history. Your husband has nobody to blame but himself unfortunately. This is what happens when you buy into the lies and tow the line for the chickenhawks.

[assistme]

@qualityrkc, while I understand your cynicism, that you have the effrontery to relegate this man's death as some sort of “comeuppance” is to demonstrate that you are but carrying the water for Rumsfeld, for Bush and his Administration of liars. More than you ever will, this man placed his life in harm’s way, believing what he was told. Sure, Jared could’ve doubted the lies (as could have Congress), but for you to sit back and demean his life makes me want to vomit! You’re pathetic. Shame on you!

[RonShook1]

@qualityrkc What a sweet person you are. 8 tours of duty and it's his fault that he couldn't take a 9th and didn't know better when he's ensconsed in the midst of the madness. What world do you live in?

[fridaytieday]

@qualityrkc

The problem is that he was so young. He did 8 tours and was dead by 25. 9/11 was 10 years ago....when did he join the army? At 16 or 18 or 20.....since when have you met a young person who isn't totally influenced by the mass media and the indoctrination industry (aka education)? They wouldn't be aware that 9/11 was a espionage tactic to commence a long time planned take over of the middle east. There is no way known. You're putting very high expectations on an ignorant young kid.

[WJustinMiller]

@qualityrkc So you're basically saying that he deserved to commit suicide because he wasn't as fashionably enlightened as yourself? Am I wrong, because I gather that sentiment from "I know he didn't expect what happened...bc of his worldview but you cannot say the information wasn't available. We knew these wars were false bc we took the time to learn about american (sic) imperialism in recent history". Who is this we? Where did "we" all have the opportunity to learn about it? In college?
