a new segment on our local news... it's mainly about rehabilitating soldiers that have lost limbs, faced disfigurement and such....
you know, i had to turn that fucking shit off.... it just pisses me off to see that so damned bad.... if it weren't for this goddamned stupid POINTLESS ass war, there wouldn't be a need for such a facility, atleast not at this point.... like i said it's for rehabilitation... which takes 2 years tops with even the worst off of people... so peopel from past wars, don't need it (or atleast by their standards) so, therefore we wouldn't even need the damned thing...
this 'war' was pointless from the very begining.... and even a few years ago it was basicly over.... coulda had everyone home and they wouldn't have missed the last few christmas's, birthdays, new years, ect....
this shit just gets me irate.... i have little sympathy for the soldiers too, and the only bit i do have for them, is becasue they're (atelast the majority) told there is some danger over there, and there's a need to put them over there... past that, they're the ones that put themselves in the situation, there is no draft, so they signed themselves up for it.... and i'm all the time seeing these soldiers trying to gain sympathy (not the ones just telling their stories, i mean the ones who are desperately seeking the sympathy) soldiers are hero's, don't get me wrong, when it comes down to it, they're the ones who fight to keep us 'free' (even tho we aren't even free, i guess they just keep us from being oppressed by ANOTHER oppressor) .... but damnit, if you sign yourself up for this shit, don't get on tv, asking for everyone's sympathy and being an attention whore...
i know there's bound to be those who take this post wrong.... so let me state what i have already, just summed up, i am extremely grateful for the soldiers, that are there in time of need, to fight for us, i'm grateful for the sacrifices they make...
i'm angry becasue there's no reason for more people to be over there dying, and being hurt, b ecause the shit is over! it's been over for years now! you can't stop every goddamned suicide bomber, and that's all they're using to justify anything anymore.... suicide bombers... you could have every last amercian over there, with itchy trigger fingers and there would still be suicide bombers.... there's just no point anymore.... all that's happening is we're losing more and more of our people, and more and more and being hurt and changed for life... it just gets me fucking irate....
and i would like one person, that thinks they can, to stand up and say why we still need our soldiers over there... we aren't on the defense anymore, we haven't been on the defense since we went over there, we've been on the offense... there's even been statments coming down from lead terrorists telling us if we just left now, and left them alone, they would leave us alone... dont' you count that as defeat? we can't put all of them in custody, and we will never be able to PERIOD... so why are we even still there?!
