is going to Iraq before the summer ends. He's been in training for a year now. Fort Benning, then Fort Campbell.
He's a gorgeous, thinking, caring boy....and my only hope is that he'll survive.
That is the reality, folks.
sorry to hear that, what does he do in the military? does he know where in iraq he'll be going?
my heart and thoughts go out to you and your family
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
while the maggots in Washington play politics and postion for the 08' election, our friends and family are in the line of fire being killed and injured. while they speak about "victory" and "winning" thumping their cowardly chests our fellow americans are targets in a foreign land. i have had 2 friends in the guard called up recently and they will be on the ground in Iraq within weeks, ripped from their families and homes by uncle sam for this bullshit war. i can only hope they stay safe and make it home unharmed. our freedom is not at risk, our country is not at risk, or lives are not at risk, only are families and friends in Iraq are at risk.
what is so wrong with bringing home our family and friends safely?
Those who start wars, never fight them
And those who fight wars, they never like them
And those who write laws, can recite them
And those who fight laws, they live and die by them
But I know its time
Yes I know its time
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
Don't take our boys away
Don't take our girls away
Don't take our boys away
Don't take our girls away
Those who build walls are pretending
That forever they can defend them
Those who dam streams can build fountains
Those of us who just let them run free
Can move mountains
But I know its time
Yes I know its time
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
And I say, you whoooo
you whoooo who who who, you whoooo who who who
Doves fly by in the morning light
Leaves fall down on a passer by
Phone call comes and a mamma cries
Tears stream down from a daddy's eyes(X2)
But I know its time
Yes I know its time
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home

your not convincing anyone that you arent ridiculous... its evident
you know whats funny...
you rarely add anything at all to the duiscussion... you are like a MT troll that roams around the threads and spits out cliche' one liners stating people are brainwashed, sheep, uninformed, asleep, etc, etc, etc...
what exactly have you done to help stop the war? anything? part of any local organizations? protested? withheld federal taxes? contacted officials? journalism? spoken with youth?
what do you do to help support your local community and various causes you espouse to support? do you volunteer? work in social services or the health industry? coach a local team? mentor youth?
i sure hope you do more then troll a message board flaming people for disagreeing with you, without ever even really stating your opinions or ideas...
