I struggle with it, as most poets do. While I am very proud of him for choosing to be a Navy Corpsman. I am worried for him.

And I hate War.

this poem is Naomi Shihab Nye "Those Whom We Do Not Know."

  • I am a Corpsman. We'll take care of him for you.

  • hooorah navy corpsman...

    im proud of ur son..

  • Who do you think you are? She didn't send her son to kill people. Her son chose to go to a place far from home and defend your right to say anything. You can be against the war, but don't you dare be against the soldiers who are only there following orders, which is what we are trained to do. Maybe you should think before you say anything.

  • this idiot has no idea what a Navy Corpsman is. Your son is a man of integrity. I pray for his safe return home!

  • you should be shamed of your self, for sending your son to kill innocent people.

  • My nephew went to Iraq. 2 years ago. He returned. He was not the same. I failed him. I did not "hear" him when I was the only one he reached out too. My failure haunts me to this day. He took his life beacause he could not reconcile with what he was forced to do. Listen to your children, your brothers and sistera, your loved ones. If they need help contact me. I can steer them in the right direction to get help now.

  • ...especially since this war shouldn't be taking place at all...
