Iraq war veteran loses sight, but gains insight

[botswanky]

I feel for this man, but... he's a trained killer that was prepared to murder another human. The only just wars in man's history are the wars waged by God's people in the scriptures. Mankind's governments have never been involved in a 'just' war, including the 1st & 2nd world wars. Wars are always waged to further ones interests at the expense of human misery. Only a blind fool actually accepts the lies our rotten-to-the-core governments feed us, century after century they fail us, am I wrong?

[SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS]

usa is the reason for the most death in irak. dont lie and say its truckbombs.

[GeRzAwN]

This guy is something else, a great man to say the least.

[dragonslikemuffins1]

He has a amazing spirit and a lot of personal courage. And your a hero michael Jernigan. Your definetly my hero

[Doctoratkins]

He knew the risks

[underdogg20]

How is it possible that a video like this has four thumbs down? Even if you're a radical muslim you should know this video is about the struggle of blindness, rather than politics.

[JewsAreLikeSnakes]

People like this gave their bodies not for the USA - but for Israel in a false war.

When will you fucking cowards stand up to Israel?

[totallykeet]

@JewsAreLikeSnakes rant somewhere else. this video isnt about the politics. lets face it all wars are pointless afterwards.

[zwebster97]

To all the U.S. of A. "haters" Please, come to the U.S. and live here and meet all the good folk that were born here and immigrated TO here, and then after experiencing this Great country of ours, and all that we are about, you will want to join us and become a U.S. citizen…and I for one will welcome you with open arms! Because when you talk…it is obvious to everyone that lives here that you simply know not what you talk about!

[louisdvx]

@zwebster97

lived there 3 years, still don't like it.

[67tr876]

@louisdvx Then get out

[louisdvx]

@67tr876 I did.

[Elmajiko999]

The us army is the new nazi regime. look at the big picture. The only diff is that corporations are the new hitler

[beastshawnee]

@Elmajiko999 Sadly you are right, but these guys don't know it.  :( They think they still live in a great land of freedom, not KNOWing it's been taken over by power elite.

9/11 was computer simulation planes, with real fly-by planes, planted explosives, and directed weapons. Some of the victims are sloppy computer simulations. (eyelids morphed onto eyebrows, and the same ears on multiple victims. They aren't even listed on the SSdeath index. Check my favorites for proof. INVESTIGATE

[BEARARMZ]

@beastshawnee okay if the planes were computer animations then what really happened to the people who supposedly die in the planes? ive been wanting to know

[rwethereyuk]

Mike Jernigan is a hero in my eyes. I appreciate him, but I don't feel sorry for him. He wouldn't want us to. He is much more happy than some of the jerk posting on this video. The best part of it is that Mike met a woman who will fulfill his life.

[terocity]

Oh wow, his bitch of a wife left him after he came back. I'm glad this didn't keep him from finding happiness again.

[enoyemoh]

@terocity

fyi, he demanded the divorce, not is "bitch of a wife".

[des00s]

It is a shame he had a father that brought him up into this mess. No son of mine will ever go fight in a pointless war.

[JaymeTakineth]

Some may say it was for the oil or whatever but it'd be just as easy for the other side to go "you know what, I quit", refuse to surrender their country or resources but stop their fighting..

That way if the US continued to fight.. other countries would step up against the US but as it stands the US still has high ground and the support. So don't blame the US.. blame the car bombs and repeated attacks against US soldiers.

[JaymeTakineth]

Every war that has ever been fought ever has been "pointless" and "immoral"

The United States was attacked by a terrorist faction which in turn led the United States to start a campaign against terror.

[MisterMatthewRoberts]

Seems more like his microchip has kicked in

[ghosty636]

WTF is wrong with you people! he put his life on the frontlines to defend what is our country USA. And you fuckers just laugh al him that he aint gonna get more pussie or tities!? I hope you guys realize that because of them soliders we have rights. I am EOD technion and ive been to iraq and all im saying you people have it all good. ichael Jernigan, GOD BLESS YOU

[tjconr2132]

@ghosty636 how is slaughtering iraqis and policing the world protecting america's freedoms?? wake up! freedom is dead, an illusion at best. they can throw you in jail just because they suspect you're an "evil" terrorist. americans can NOT even own their own property anymore. and if you think you can, then try not paying property taxes. the ignorance of people like you astounds me. obama swore that his administration would be transparent. so why are they condemning wikileaks?

[77musica]

This Marine has a great attitude because he is a Marine and the mental training from the Corps, otherwise he would be like a crying army soldier.

[tjconr2132]

@77musica by "mental training", you must mean indoctrination, aka brain-washing lol. fuck the military.

[77musica]

@tjconr2132 Yes, I agree with you, fuck the military, but all I am saying the training we get in the Corps help many indure fucked up shit like this. Fuck every political system of the world, past or present.

[Iammuhtriangle]

These anti-American and anti-Iraq arguments just prove how disgusting the human race can be. We are the only race to wage war on ourselves. But war is necessary as long as we have this terrible flaw in our genes.

[leyesysalsa]

Good for him, but this just means, that this could be one of the many consequences for going to a stupid war. sorry for all the people from both sides that lost their lives or get injured.

[Depravedmaniac666]

Freak.......

[pantyflash]

Like, even though your eyesight is hosed, you're an awesome dude. You are part of what's right with America. Without folks like you, we would all be hosed. Wishing you all the best for years to come. Way to go, babe!

[eattherich588]

I'm extremely inspired by this story. People commenting with complaints about the war only further this man's success. I don't see him complaining for himself. The war in Iraq was (and still is) a long and hideous war. But bitching and calling to arms every country against the U.S is counterproductive and simply pitiful. Try actually making a difference in a positive way like this man has done.

[guidav123]

It's amazing that in america people can get a million dollars for going on some silly game show such as deal or no deal. but those that rick it all for us get .....what again?

[frednora]

He is a far stronger person than I would be. I am so happy he has found a way to get his life together. I want to be an Occupational Therapist and help the blind do exactly what he did.

[Talentz92]

ill never fight for my country its all hypocritical bullshit.

[Gandalf17]

thats what u can get for bein a mercenary workin for a terrorist organization aka US Army

[350z350zify]

@Gandalf17 theres a difference between mercs and soldiers...

[tjconr2132]

@350z350zify the difference is that mercs have NO accountability what-so-ever for their atrocious deeds. we might as well send neo-nazis and ms-13s and crips to kill in secret. oh wait... we already do that. they're called soldiers and marines (that are also gang members).  lol, silly me.

[350z350zify]

@tjconr2132 shut the fuck up and go die bitch.

[tjconr2132]

@350z350zify well, it's true. there are gang members in the military. and this war is pointless and immoral. so, maybe, if you think it's so good, you should go and give your life :D

[350z350zify]

@tjconr2132 will do so.

[cardmankev]

@Gandalf17 Hey prick...I would rip your fuckin head off if I knew where you lived. You coward at your keyboard.

[tjconr2132]

@cardmankev the US military is a terrorist organization.

[aviomaster]

NAtional ARMY of the USA should not be used to fight for Bush Cheney and the gang private war ....

GOD bless all people who fight against USA fascism ... that has gripped this world.

[HaZeProductionZz]

You people are fucked up, he FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY! He can no longer see, and he still thinks positive, most of you would crawl into a ball and pity yourself. AT LEAST HE WENT BLIND WHILE DOING SOMETHING MOST OF YOU DONT HAVE THE BALLS TO DO. Im enlisting in the military, and i plan to fight for my country, no matter what the risk.

[MrChrisco55]

he fought for oil, end of it. brave gu though

[lnvestigatelslam]

[lnvestigatelslam]

[cardmankev]

@lnvestigatelslam You piece of shit. You dishonor this Patriot. You coward piece of garbage. This guy without eyes (whom I've met) should wipe the shit from his shoes on your pathetic face. Contact me privately...I would like to meet you someday.  Coward.

[jakeboy135]

[smellymelly1989]

HA HA...Mrhatesyanks...you spelt died wrong you thick twat!

[4104024061]

[guitarman3585]

What the fuck is wrong with you people??? I dont give a shit if you agree with the war or not but have some fucking respect for the guy he lost his eyes. Some of you people are fucked up...

Tereeb11 for exampled "You love to see them suffer???!!! What the fuck is wrong with you!!!

[Shasho199]

You look like a vampire. You did not give your eyes to your country. You gave them to Zionists.

[JukemDrawles89]

a true warrior Semper fi!

[4104024061]

look at this guy, hahaha

its what you get for killing kids

go FRANCE

[John17815]

You are a sick person.

[alexman18]

"Go france" Motherfucker if it wasn't for the US you pussies would still be occupied by Germany.

-Semper Fi

[alieu156]

@alexman18 If it wasn't for France you wouldn't have a country.

[tjconr2132]

@alexman18 who gives a fuck. if america ever was something to be proud of, it's not anymore. i'm american and i'd just as soon be french or german. this man lost his eyes for nothing. the war is completely immoral. just check out wikileaks. i feel sorry for people who have deluded themselves into thinking that this war is for a good cause. i'm also in the us army reserves, and i hate it. i know many soldiers who despise the military for it's waste, corruption, lack of ethics. etc.

[monsieurtoutlemonde1]

@alexman18

bitch what ?

without france the u.s would still be a british colony you fuckin fag.

dont you fuckin' know your own history ?

france doesnt ow you shit !!!

[Bookstop1337]

@alexman18

And if it wasn't for France the US wouldn't have survived the revolutionary war..

[Tsheaaa14]

@alexman18 i'm not going to lie but if it wasn't for France, we could all have the stupid British accent. (i'm not French at all)

[ekeb1]

@alexman18 No, you came in on the last day. Dude, the Russians came on the east and the English came to France. Then US and A came along to support us after 4 fucking years with war. And it wasn't until you realised it could affect you that you reacted.

[MrSoymoney]

@alexman18 Don't forget Canada! :)

[felixu95]

@alexman18 And if it wasn't for us French motherfuckers the colonies would have lost the American Revolutionary War. I'm not trying to disrespect Americans, since I live here, but you were just being a douchebag.

[Admirdakaj]

@felixu95 most americans are..!

[aviomaster]

-- This is terrible , WAR which is based on lies ,

WAR with agenda in mind , This war is not good. NO people on earth would like to be occupied and controled. NO ONE on earth wants to be ruled by someone else.

[CTTBA]

Too bad he's blind. He can't watch the videos and see the physical evidence of what really happened on 911 and how his country has betrayed him. He can't see the steam coming out of the ground of the WTC basements from the molten metal underground, or see Building 7 collapse by controlled demolition, which no plane hit. No steel framed buildng ever fell due to fire, but they want everyone to believe 3 did on 911. He can't read about Bertha Champagne in the archives of the Washington Post.

[shasha1873]

Good Americans like this man are getting hurt because few Jews forced the president to invade a country that had no WMD! I want the zionists Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl to go and fight now.

[CTTBA]

Look up Bertha Champagne and then see if you think the 'Jews' forced the President to do anything? They are all the same satanic illuminati. Bush wasn't forced, he is part of it. Have you never heard his father explain the New World Order to you? A traitor who committed high treason and got away with it because America is a nation of dumb fucks.

[shasha1873]

You have a good point.

[Zenome]

I am developing a new technology that can enable this poor man to gain an eye sight again.

[Downfacingdog]

Take your new technology and go fuck yourself with it!!!! This Gentleman doesn't need your fucking help. Go push your shit somewhere else! Maggot!

[fuhmeregan]

Your dad raised a kick-ass Thank you for protecting us, Michael!

[nikamirovak]

i think i went to school with you. i went to georgetown university last year. i'm also blind and remember almost running into your guide dog once.

[MartyBarret]

Mike, you are a great Marine! Semper Fi!

[mrnsusa]

Thank you for protecting my freedom and our country.and thank you to our military

[madiovich]

deluded moron

[MinnowBelcher]

What are you talking about? I am a war veteran too. So, go fuck yourself asswipe. You sound like you were molested one too many times by the crooked cops and politicians that we are trying to root out.

[USPatriot3]

WOW! I guess there are "Useful Idiots" in Canada too! I won't insult your intelligence, but your ignorance knows no bounds!

[MrCreepster]

God Bless You MY FRIEND. and Thank YOU for YOUR support and your losses fighting for my freedom cost you..........!!!!!!!! Special are the ones that stand up for those that cannot.....

[FoGGeRdk]

good guy

[eckyboyo]

Good man. I admire your fortitude and strength. I wish you had not been placed in that unjust war for Bush and his henchmen. You did your duty though and must be respected.

[MinnowBelcher]

The naysayers so easily criticize from the safety of their homes.

[Tereeb11]

I really so happy to see these Soldiers alive. Yes alive, I love to see them suffer for the rest of their lives.

He said he fought for his country, he was mistaken, he just fought for his BUSH().

But I felt sad though when his marriage fall apart.

[cutzzzzz]

200 views .. more people should see this video. This man deserves a national recognition and respect, from all the people he fought to protect. bless u my friend

[boucher21]

what an amazing spirit this man has, god bless hime
