Quote from a wounded soldier

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

From CNN:

"I made a decision before this [war] started, with my family, that I was going to get out," he said. "This just kind of put the icing on the cake. I've got a wife and kids who are a little more important to me than to sit here, to try and defend my country."

 

[HANSEL]

WTF! I think thats BS. Himself and his family could be killed in a terror attack or something if we all just sat on our asses.

 

[the nature boy]

I wonder if he shot himself.

and I wonder why CNN even bothered to report that.

some people dont belong fighting. Although i am all about protecting others, some dont have the mentality for it. It is sad, but better to not get killed doing something that isnt in your ability to do.

 

[gymtime]

Was he US or Iraqi?

 

[notoriousQQ]

I thought the quote from the wounded soldier was going to be

"Ouch"

 

[Sebass67]

If you have done less then him in defending his homeland i really don;t think u have a right to cuss him out...balless in my opinion.

This was an American soldier being interviewed in a hospital in Germany.

as someone sitting on my ass in america i have no problem with someone not wanting to putt his ass on the the line. However, making a statement like that seems a little weird and inapropriate.

Last i checked there wasnt a draft and no one forced this guy to join the miltary.

Fats Twitch - Death to Allah??? Do you even know what you are talking about? I bet my left nut you are an ignorant fuck who thinks all muslims are all about blowing themselves up and taking out as many people with them. Well just like not all Germans were ethnocentric prejudice fucks like the nazi'zs the same applies to muslims. I would love to hear you say something like that to my face. I would be more than happy to hand your pasty ass to you. How about death to Christ or whatever the fuck you believe in you fucking homo?

BTW..No I am not muslim but narrow-mindedness is my #2 pet peeve, especially in times like these. Morons like this guy is why there is so much misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I'm not narrow minded. I just hate the Muslims in the Middle East. If you can't see that those people are a bunch of savages then you are the ignorant fuck. I'm sick of liberal whiners saying "Oh, it's just a small number of Muslims causing problems." That's bullshit. Everyone of those Middle Eastern countries has MILLIONS of these barbarians that are hell bent on killing us infidels. Now shut the fuck up about my signature!

Holy fucking shit did you just make yourself look dumb.

 

[the nature boy]

lol

 

[john937]

You're taking this out of context!
This guy has already done more for this country than anyone responding on this thread.
He was wounded in battle, his left arm severly shot up with shrapnel, he may only have nerves in his two little fingers left.
He nearly died.
He's now being shipped back to Germany and then the US.
He's been in the military for 12 years, and has decided to get out.
Seems like common sense to me.

 

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

I can't say that I blame this guy. I'd be willing to bet that most Americans would feel the same way if they got shot in combat. I'd say his commanding officer probably isn't too pleased with him saying that.

Why does he look dumb? Find one false statement in his post.

I knew there had to be someone else that shared my viewpoint.

Basically you are saying that "the Muslims in the Middle East...are a bunch of savages."

We are talking about the citizens of Jordan, Kuwait, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. These are developed countries with a lot of culture (It's amazing what the money from oil will do for the develoment of high culture). And by culture I mean opera houses, museums, shit like that. I'm not into that shit but I think you will agree that that type of development is the opposite of being savage.

OK, remember history class in grade school? Remember Mesopotamia? The Fertile Crescent? The Tigris and the Euphrates? The Mesopotamians were the first known culture in the world. Guess where modern Mesopotamia is? Fucking IRAQ motherfucker. Iraq has the oldest culture in the WORLD.

The Middle East is basically the cradle of human civilization.

Yeah, there are a lot of Middle Eastern muslims, who, as victims of misinformation, do hate the United States. So what? It's their right. The point is that only a tiny fraction of a percent of them are willing to do anything about it. And what you think isn't what matters. It's what you do.

Finally, you are no better than the fanatic Muslim screaming for the blood of the infidels. You are engaging in blind, unqualified hatred of another ethnic class of people. An entire religion even. There are others who have done that. I'm not going to mention names but you know where this is going. Now where's the good in that?

Just for the record I'm not against the war or particularly for it either. I am certainly against Saddam and just because he and some Muslim clerics have brainwashed a bunch of poor, oppressed people, I dont hate the people themselves. Like I said Iraq has the longest, richest cultural history in the world and I think it's a shame that what I once knew as the Fertile Crescent is now criscrossed with tank tracks and oil fires.

One word for this:
Malingering!!!

 

[CanadianCripple]

Saw him say that & thought it a strange thing to say, but he did manage to capture 4 Iraqi soldiers... even after the accident. With a bloody left arm & a gun in the right, he managed to get 4 of those aholes to drop their guns. Props for that. Maybe the painkillers were flowing too heavily.

I just hope he doesn't pull a Forrest Gump in Washington.

So do they have the right to strap bombs to themselves and blow up buses in Israel? Yes I am better than these people. I've never killed another person. I've never wished them to die for believing in Allah. My "Death to Allah" signature is a political statement. These barbarians in the middle east would gladly slit my throat for being an American. You need to go to a country like Yemen and wear a "God Bless the USA" t-shirt and see how long you survive.

If you don't think that people who subject women to whippings for not covering their face in public are barbarians then you are hopelessly brainwashed. Yes, the middle east may have been the beginning of civilization but it will likely bring about the end of it as well. If those Muslims don't have any infidels in the Western world to fight with then they fight with each other.
