Portland, you were talking about the Gorge. Small world, im a corpsman in the Navy, serving with marines and I'm from Oregon. Small world this is. I hope your son is fine. God be with him.
He's a medic. There to help people. You are a horrible person. Most of the people he helped there were Iraqi. May everything you wish on others happen to you.
I am against the war because it is an illegal war. The Bush Administration lied about and inflated the information they had in order to justify a war George Dumbshit Bush had planned far before 9-11. He used the heightened emotions of the country to go to war. That's like teaching religion to someone who just lost their spouse...it's just wrong to manipulate people when they are vulnerable and our President had the nerve to do that.
I hate to be the one to tell you lady, but it is because of brave Americans who love their country such as you son who has always and always will make and keep this country safe! I will pray for you.
I thank and have respect for each and every soldier in the US military! I however, have NO respect for people like you Poetivity! You shame our young men and women in uniform! Do I know personally a soldier? YES I do! Do I have a son fighting for your right to speak such shit? YES I do! Should your son be ashamed of his MOTHER? YES he should be! You want a safe country to live in eh? How in the hell do you think this country was built?
Yes, and I understand the Republican opinion that we somehow need to be in Iraq to secure our own freedom...looks like you've purchased the Bush Administration Bullshit hook, line,Fa and sinker...
Good thing the clear thinkers are beginning to gain power in the country and Bush and his war mongering cronies will be impeached and probably held for war crimes.
I have respect for all the soldiers in the military...it's the damn President and his lies I hate.
You are a beautiful mother, and every child such as myself appreciates you. I myself went to Iraq twice in one year alone, and its not easy. My brother is also serving, so I appreciate your son even more. My brother is a Marine. Strong men such as your son keep my brother alive, and for that I thank you both.
Camel spiders are the sickest thing ever, and they don't die very easily.
I hope he is okay now, and I will add him to my prayers. Stay strong, and God Bless.
You know...I'm counting the hours because I love my son and I am so happy he's home safe. You're a bit of a nut. A mother wants her son safe and sound and all of a sudden it's about her?? NO, you want them safe and sound because you want them happy and peaceful and unharmed...it's my son's life that has been most affected/effected by this damn immoral war....it's his life I want in tact.
This probably wont mean anything to you, but I'm also a navy corpsman as is your son and a few others who have written here. I have been to Iraq 2 times since 2005, and will here very shortly be headed back. I just want to say thank you, because even though you don't like him being enlisted you support him. And support like that has helped me through my years. I will say every Doc I know, are proud to be a part of the hospital corps, and what we do really does make a difference out there. Thanku
Thank you for your service. I am proud of you for it. I'm sorry you have to go back to Iraq. I hope this conflict ends soon. God surround you and keep you and your men safe.
Ma'am,I myself am a Navy Corpsman. I want to thank you for supporting your son in his desire to become a corpsman. It is one of the hardest professions in the military, not because it is overly physically hard, although it is hard, but because of the mental and emotional strain that accompanies what we do. We hold the lives of our friends in our hands. Please continue to support him, he will very much need you when he gets back. I will pray for his safe return.
I am going into the US Navy as a Corpsman. Last thing I want is to know that a fellow corpsman has had anything bad happen to them. I personally can not wait, however I want every corpsman/marine to know that I will do everything I can. Congrats to your son, its an honerable thing. You seem to love him, he sounds like an amazing person. He sounds like an amazing guy, he will see you again. Semper Fedilis.
Good thing we have Republicans in Office since the Democrats dismantle our military. And Why in the hell are you posting this video on youtube? Go do something to keep you busy. Your son wants this. This is what he is trained to do. & Camel spiders don't bite man. Although they are scary.
He chose to go to save lives... he is honorable, you apparently are not. You really need to get your act together lady, talking about "brainwashed soldiers" - so all the soldiers are brainwashed? You have nothing in common with noble mothers and families of noble soldiers. Your noble son is truly alone if this is how his mother thinks.
You have not talked to a soldier...they work hard to teach them that they HAVE to go to these countries...they are putting their lives on the line..and the Administration...and yes, this IS about politics, makes sure the soldiers believe they have a purpose for it. When was war, or young sons being sent off to fight in them..NOT about politics...oh..here let me say this clearly...NEVER.
Good thing we have Republicans in Office since the Democrats dismantle our military. And Why in the hell are you posting this video on youtube? Go do something to keep you busy. Your son wants this. This is what he is trained to do. & Camel spiders don't bite man. Although they are scary.
God you are an ass, jschoonz4. Regan began cutting back nukes, Bush Sr. continued the cut backs to the military all the way to George Dubbya Bush, who, by the way LIED to the nation about weapons of mass destruction. The current republican administration put is in this quagmire thru lies and personal vendettas. Bush has damaged to this country and our relationship with other nations and he will go down in history as a failure. However, this video is about heart, not about politics.
Mam, I will pray for you and your son. I hope he comes home safe and sane. You hang in there mom. He will be a better man for this somehow and you will be stronger too. God Bless you Both.
It is can be a emotional/legal coaster. There are women (and men) who try to marry soldiers that are or will be deployed, because not in the states (never have to deal other), financially support them, and carry benefits. If you love him as much as your trying to show us, that is much more than many get. Don't cry too much on the phone or you will scare him and send care packages. Yes there are decent spouses, but right now he is a magnet for a bad wife, from experience please warn him on leave
I can only imagine what a mother goes through knowing her son or daughter is going off to war.. It doesn't matter what one thinks of the war or the reasons we are at war, what matters is that we have strong men and women who are willing to stand up for their beliefs! God Bless your son! I hope he returns home safe!
I knew Bush was lying about Iraq- Hussein tried to comply with US/UN requests but Bush was set to go anyway. Once I realized this I shut my mouth as I did not want to give the impression that I did not support my brother-in -law, an Air Force pilot. How could I explain to my nephews? Now you know how a soldier can be honorable in a dishonorable war. Do not let lessons of Vietnam go ignored or others will hate your son because you hate war.
They will be ignored lessons with this kind of rhetoric... soldiers coming home will be hated because of people saying they won't sacrifice their sons... YOU are sacrificing nothing - your brave boy is alive and honorable and I honor him and will pray for him. This war sucks, but our soldiers do not. Just be careful how you protest and how you show dissent. I hate the war, I dislike Bush, but I love your son and those like him.
It shows you made this video 9 months ago. I am not all the way through your videos so, I am not sure if your son is home or still in Iraq. My heart goes out to you and your family you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" JFK.
Don't be selfish. Know that sacrifice must be made, and accept that maybe it won't be someone else. As human beings we must realize that we will not go our whole lives being babied, and avoiding hardships, leaving the tough tasks up to others.Something painful may happen to you in life, it's not fun but it's life.
That is a stupid, stupid thing to say. It is not about oil. YOU have NOT sacrificed your son, he CHOSE to go. He is still alive, is he not? And many others will live because of him. Where is your pride in your son? You have made this ALL ABOUT YOU. Focus on on the noble actions of your son and how many lives he will save. It s/b about HIM, not YOU!
SWsimpson Great comment. All these mothers and wives protesting. It IS about them. And as for Poetivity's comment to me " I'll send you" how do you know what I have or have'nt done for this country! your clueless.
I agree with both of you. Poetivity's son KNEW the risks, and knew what he was in for. He (Poetivity's son) will probably save a lot of lives during his tour. That is something to be proud of.
We live in relative peace because people have died for it.Peace will never be achieved,enemy's of our country can only be kept at bay through war.Much like police work.people complain about police but imagine a country w/o them.You think crime is bad now it is kept at bay.Just like the relative peace we have today,bad things happen but if people did'nt fight for us we would be 3rd world.War IS horrible,but needed.There are people who want us dead, something must be done!I serve.
I don't know why this is related Russian army soldiers. Why are you sad son going war? There should be no greater glory or honor to family blood line than fighting in war. In my russia there no greater glory you can get than sacrificing your life in war. To bring honor to family blood line like my family has for thousands of years fighting for the mother russia. But my mum cried the day left for the Chechnya war at 17 out cossack military school with my brother who never came back.
My thoughts are with you. Know that Navy Corpsmen get the best training in the world and his actions will directly lead to more Marines returning home along with him.
My heart goes out to you. These boys and girls we send, they are all somebody's son, daughter, sister, brother, mother, father. "When will we ever learn."
There is a time for peace, a time for war, a time for life and a time for death.
when a warrior leaves a mother grieves
when we return again, we shall a different man
we will rest our heads on their necks and we shall kiss each other
and if we never come to that point in time
then I'll wait for you at the gates my brother
