Audio & Video recorded live. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW.
Start the peace. End the war.
Images gathered from http://militarytimes.com/valor. Please note that no picture is shown more than once. I wish I could give each image enough time to be seen clearly, but alas there are just too many.
In November of 2010 I compiled the pictures of all our fallen soldiers as close to 5,000 US troops had been killed in action. Six months later, as I release this video, the number has reached over 6,000.
This video is dedicated to the sons, daughters, mothers and fathers who should still be with us today. Regardless of your politic, you can not disagree that the best place for these human beings would have been at home with their families this weekend. Also, let us not forget the 50,000 troops that are still in harms way, still wondering if they are going to make it home and the appalling 125,000 innocent people who have been killed or injured in the cross fire.
It's easy to reply "War is hell" but let us not ignore the fact that war is an extremely profitable business. Rich men in suits sign a piece of paper, make billions of dollars and send your children off to die. Buy hey, it's nothing personal... it's just business. Yet they manage to hide their ugly heads under the patriotic false pretenses of freedom and justice for all.
It is not fair that we send our family members to die while we watch Haliburtons stock rise 10 fold since we started this war. 10 FOLD! And they are only one of the many companies who profit from this war and only one of the companies who has advocated and lobbied that the war must continue.
Look at it from their point of view. Heaven forbid if the war ended, they would be out of business,
War is easy to ignore when you don't have to look it in the eyes. Good luck.
I have disabled commenting because I do not want to see any bickering between members. I am simply trying to make people think and feel, as it appears to me that most of the world has gone numb and has grown accustomed to accepting or ignoring the situations that are handed to them. I can only go by my hope that regardless of the viewpoints, if every single person on the planet was vocal and passionate about how they feel, love would prevail and make the world a better place.
Alas, if you were touched by this video or have a story you wish to share with me, please email me directly at TheWanderingMadman at gmail.com.

oooo.... thought you'd like to know the rain is coming
but I wasn't aware, that you're not there
suddenly, it seems that i have lost all of my somethings
so take me back, I wouldn't change one thing
but damn it'd feel good just to whisper in your ear
its only a dream, its not what it seems
flush me out, and hang me out to dry
lots of lone, lots of lone lots of lonely people
whose lives they gave to fill your rage
its a lie, its a lie but its alive in people
to break those feelings down
ooooo thought you'd like to know the rain is coming,
but i wasn't aware that you're not there
suddenly, it seems that i have lost all of my somethings
so take me back, I wouldnt change one thing
but damn it'ld feel good just to whisper in your ear
its only a dream, its not what it seems
flush me out, and hang me out to dry
ooo take a load, take a load, you're falling to pieces
for the lies they sold
i was unaware of how much you suffer, when you suffer
when you're all alone
lay, down to cigarettes and sidewalks, sidewalks
lay, down to cigarettes and sidewalks, sidewalks
down to cigarettes....
we will survive.....
flush me out....
