most of you know I lost my brother in Iraq. Not a day goes by that the pain fills us up so much. But we are so angry too. We trusted Bush and my brother is gone. My brothe and 3700 soldiers are dead in vain.
Can't the troops please come home and not die for Bush's lie? Since Bush has blackwater why can't the troops come home?
Why should honest loving sooldeirs die in vain. Bush hired Blackwater. Why do more patriotic soldiers need to be killed for Bush's lie?
Please bring the troops home and let them live. Support the troops ALIVE not dead.
Please in my brothers name I beg you all to save the lives of the troops and bring them home. Please?

I am truly sorry for your loss and I completely understand your frustration.. You are absolutely correct innocent soldiers should not die in vain... I'm not sure if this war will ever end though.. Both parties seem to do nothing about it.... The neo conservatives of the Republican Party support a failed war on false pretenses. The democrats were elected into congress in 2006, with nothing to show for it. The current democratic candidates just dance around the issue of Iraq and continue to play the blame game. Neither Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama has a proper exit strategy outlined for Iraq. Not too mention they both support full amnesty for illegals and both voted for the Patriot Act, which is a direct infringement on our privacy.... There are only three candidates that plan to end the war, they are Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel.. I strongly suggest you look into one of them, because they are the only hope we have for returning our troops home safely...
Once again I apologize for your loss, please stay strong.. God bless you and your family..

Believe me when I tell you that I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish there were something I could say to ease your pain and make things right with you. Your brother deserves the highest respect and has earned a place to be forever remembered as one of our nation's honored dead.
I am a combat veteran and I come from a long line of them. We have all had to make difficult decisions and choices in our efforts to serve. Case in point- my grandfather's father was an immigrant from Hamburg Germany. My grandfather was a B-17 piltot in WW II and chose to carry out several missions to bomb Hamburg- knowing that he had aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents there.
I will say this. My mother and sisters would never ask anyone to bring me home from my duties overseas- duties I volunteered for, because we have that tradition.
I wouldnt want anyone to bring me home from my duties, from combat from what I CHOSE to do with my life. Any other service person who feels differently shouldnt have joined up and had better not re-enlist, because right or wrong there are no politics on the battlefield. There is only duty.
I am a combat veteran. I've been wounded twice. And I'd do it again and for the rest of my life if they'd let me.

I am sorry for your loss, it must be excruciating. I know a young man who died in Iraq but his parents do not feel the way you do. Also, we cannot run away from a war as soon as a soldier dies unless the other side does the same thing. The side that runs away that soon will be subjugated so fast that they would barely have time to go buy themselves a burka. My family lost relatives during WWII before I was born and they missed them until they themselves died but it was fight or live in world split between Hitler and Staline.

The concept of the word solider is warrior. Warrior's do not die in vain. They are remembered by their brothers IE true warriors. For those who speak without knowing or understanding the concept they should remain silent. With war there is pain and sorrow - but for the warrior it is honor - it is a conscious decision to serve - There are many able who could serve but are cowards. Your brother is a hero and I honor his decision yet I know the loss by the family is filled with sorrow.

I am very sorry for your loss. And I can tell you the pain that fills you, is also in me. And the connections were so strong, that there is no way to heal the wound that lies there, gaping in the open air. And I agree with you, in all of these things. And these things called "terrorism" are simply a lie disguised by the monster we call our government. This is why we must solve this problem ourselves, the government will do nothing for us.

As a veteran I share your pain. Use your vision for America in a wise way. Politicians; Republican or Democrat will do the will of their 'controllers'. There is no Bush and there is no Clinton who will change policy. If you have gone to college than study more history. Turn your grief into determination.
God bless you.

The best way to get someone home safe from Iraq or Afghanistan is to tell them to keep quiet about what is going on over there. When they question what is really happening they die. Really. Americans are killing Americans over there.

im sorry for your loss but i think your brother would feel confused and perhaps betrayed by your display of naivete. i lived in nyc at 911. al qaeda is NOT a lie, they are very real and deadly. contrary to what ms. pelosi would tell you, the defense of the united states is not in vain and gurantees the forum you use to display this. you need to understand through your greif that we, who are not swayed by liberal grandstanding and posturing understand this and are doing all we can, despite ms. pelosis work to end this war as quickly as possible. again, i am truly sorry for your loss but please know that conservatives understand al qaeda and the real danger and appreciate your sacrifice more than you will know.

Hey! My brother is in the Navy and he is 24 years old and he is in the middle east. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for you. Are you and your family alright? I think that the war should just end. Every day i worry that i will wake up, and the phone wont ring from my brother's morning call. I hope everything works out with your family!!!
