Seriously!
"Why is it we cant do for our soldiers what we have done for Virgina tech?????
I have known more wives that have lost their husbands to this war than I will know people involved with the Virginia tech "tragedy". I will also say that our freedom allows me to say this!
An estimated 31 18-22 year old were shot and killed on a college campus. A horrible tragedy I agree. Now within 6 hours, I have read multiple bulletin posts regarding "prayer lists" and random add your name if you "care about the individuals and families" of the victims. Indeed my thoughts are with them. I would like to tell you what blows my mind. 31 college students get killed, inside the US and the whole nation is so torn up over the families of the victims, and the poor students who were "so young".
Has it occurred to any of you liberal yuppy retards that so far THIS MONTH 56 of the same aged Americans have been killed in Iraq? And wait, more then double that has been killed every month for the last three years? Why am I not receiving posts and emails about my fellow brethren's families? Why is the whole nation not grieving for them? Because it is too far away from their homes, so the lives don't matter. Well I'll tell you something, its not far away from me. Yet how often do you think about the troops losing their lives on a daily basis? How often do you think of the families every day that lose one of their loved ones?
These are men and women that VOLUNTEER TO DIE FOR YOU, and they do not get half the thoughts of college students. Now don't get me wrong, it is horrible that such an incident happened, my heart does go out to their families. Just take a second to realize who you offend, when you treat one tragedy different than another, just because it isn't so close to home. Thank you for listening, and If I have offended anyone, then next time remember whose defending your freedom."
This is the biggest piece of crap I've read in a while.
Now, I fully support the soldiers out there. They were forced into something no one wants to experience. And it is equally tragic for their families. However...
We put ourselves in this war. The "majority" of this country voted to put some idiot into office. Some idiot who lies constantly! He went into this war against the UN. He said we were going in for the sole purpose of WMDA's. But when he couldn't find any he quickly spun it around to make it seem like we were going in to take out Sadam. We knew how bad things were getting when we, as a country, decided to vote the bastard back in a second time. And look where we're at today?
The Virginia Tech thing was some upset wacko with a chip on his shoulder, randomly shooting innocent people. These people did not want to go to school that day to get shot. Where as people enlist into the military, so you know you're taking that risk, that someday you may just have to go to war.
Both issues are tragedies! However we chose one.
And as far as "liberal yuppy retards" go, we're the ones trying to finally end this war. Democrats take majority in congress and within a year there are resolutions and plans to pull out of Iraq. Something good ol' Bush and his harem of lying idiots couldn't do in almost 8!
