@Titoscudd AGAIN, if you knew me, you would know what kind of teacher I am to my daughter, instead, your filling in MORE gaps! I shouldn't even be responding to stuff like this, but it annoys me how twisted some people can get it! I'm not getting into some pointless debate over you tube, maybe one day you can read the book I am writing, and I hope I can enlighten you, and rid you of such strong judgement and pre concieved ideas!

[misstechnique]

@Titoscudd You are filling in gaps about a very complex issue, hidden behind a tag name, or what ever you call them! As I said, you new nothing about my brother or the reasons he made such a grave mistake! He was Nieve, and that mistake cost him his life.  Blair, on the other hand made an illegal dicission sending under equiped soldiers to there death, and I would have some closure on him being held accountable for this! Sorry this is such an issue for you!

@misstechnique

But, no. You'd rather want them to come to the public square with the naivete of expecting everyone to be ignorant of these facts? Your brother wasn't drafted, he enlisted of his own volition. And had he come home alive, you'd have been celebrating his "heroic" return as a proud patriot without care or concern for what and why he did whatever he did in Iraq.

These facts not withstanding, please, accept my condolences for your loss.

@misstechnique

So, why don't you tell your children the fact that once you sign up for the military, you effectively cede all right to determine the morality of a war, why and on whose side you're engaged in? And why don't you go further to tell them that knowing this, your brother still chose to join the armed forces and was deployed to Iraq to KILL Iraqis who saw his presence there as an assault on their nation?

[Titoscudd]

@misstechnique

Do you EVER pause to discuss with your kids the distortions, propaganda and dishonesty that led to the death of many of these soldiers or do you wear your poppy and wave the Union Jack in celebration of valiance and courage?

May I ask who it is then that is doing your children a disservice when on the one hand you know that many of the wars their "heroes" were engaged in were unjust but, in the same breath you celebrate the "achievements" of these "heroes"?

[Titoscudd]

@misstechnique

Much as I empathize with your loss, I'd like to ask you to be KINDLY blunt with me. Do you think that it is fair for your children, no matter how young, to know the FACTS and circumstances of your brother's death? Do you not wear a poppy on Remembrance Day celebrating fallen soldiers and the pride you take in their sacrifice?

[misstechnique]

@Titoscudd clearly we have differnt views thanks ever so much for your sensitive comments! You know nothing about my brother or how I felt about any free buttons!! Hahahahahaha I bet you believe kids should still be sent up chimneys to clean, if they survive they get fed! Kindly spout your vileness somewhere my daughter and niece won’t see and grow some compassion! You don’t have to agree with me, for goodness sake, use some tact! This isn’t anything to laugh about Mr Diplomat!

@grimblebrumble17889

Who's an American? LOL!! Crawl back into that purulent cavity out of which you slithered out. I think your mom calls it her arse hole.
