This is Cpl. Jason Dunham. He died in Falluja during a standard patrol. His fire team recieved contact and immediately 2 of his fire team members sustained injuries. the small arms fire stopped, and a frag grenade landed next to Cpl. Dunham. Cpl. Dunham ripped his kevlar off of his head and covered the grenade telling his Marines to get down. He recieved the full blast. He recieved mortal injuries from shrapnel and damage from the blast. His last promise was to make it home to his mother again. He died 34 hours later in the arms of his mother. His last words were, "I made it home mom."

All three of these Marines died because they didn't want to leave one fallen brother behind.

YouTube - Daddy I miss you - Heaven 911- It's been 7 years later Daddy!

The little girl in that video (the audio), her father died in 9/11. She will grow up knowing her father died as an innocent man just doing his job.

So before you say that fighting this war is stupid or the reason behind it is shitty, look to those that suffer, and continue to suffer for their innocence, not the corrupted with views of those that are tainted.

Their is reason to this war, and it is to protect the innocent from such utter pain.

I fight this war to protect those that I love. I fight to protect those that matter to me. My family (LG and actual), my friends (fellow Marines, LG), and my loved ones (LG and my soon-to-be wife). I fight for you, and for all those that don't believe. And those that don't believe, you are sad individuals indeed to not show love and compassion for those that are willing to die for you and those that are dying for you.

Always remember LG, always remember.

Cool story bro. You fight a war to protect those that are suffering and instead put many others into the same pot of suffering.

War is like a quarter.

Flip it all you want you always have a 50 - 50 on weather it'll be head or tails.

I'm done arguing with you Torian. I'm the bigger man so I'm done arguing. you can keep arguing all you want, but im just gonna ignore you. You be an anti-war little wanna-be hero, and I'll be the real hero, fighting so you can hold up your little sign and protest.

As I said in my ranting thread, good night Torian. I'm done with you.

Awww this made me sad.

Did you knew any of them?

While america is worried about our troops, our brothers, sisters, moms, dads, aunts uncles and cousins return safely, the innocent people of the middle east, people who, for or against the 'war' that will return them with freedom...... are dying left and right.

Do you think that baby girl was a terrorist? Do you think she was putting American soldiers' lives in jeopardy? I doubt that.


Like Torian, and somewhat like Chris said, no matter where you look, someone is losing their family, someone is dying, good or bad, it's not right.

Their is no reason to this war. We can't undo what's already been done.

I protest this war to protect those that I love. I protest to protect those that matter to me. My family (LG and actual), my friends (fellow Marines, LG), and my loved ones (LG and my not-so-soon-to-be wife). I protest for you, and for all those that believe. And those that believe, you are sad individuals indeed to not show love and compassion for those that are willing to die for you and those that are dying for you.

Dying, every day, in a war that we don't have to be in. They would be alive, if we weren't in this war.

When will we end this suffering?

Thank you. This is why I said that souleater/soldiers or whatever in general are part of the reason the world is what it is today, part of the reason there's so much suffering. The hundreds of billions of dollars put into the war effort could have been put to actual good use, but no, in the end it's all about who has the bigger red button.

the real heroes aren't those who go killing for the "good" of someone. War isn't an honor, it's just a showmanship of which country has power. The real heroes don't have to use bullets to change someone or to take revenge. The real heroes use words that can move soldiers into instead devoting their lives to killing people to instead devote their lives into going overseas into the problematic countries and deal with the innocent and let the other heroes do the rest. The real heroes get high in government and have the power to talk to warring countries and convince them to lead a breakdown of the corrupted enemies. The real heroes don't shoot a bullet. :/

The real heroes haven't been around for years then. Or if they were, they get killed because of the paranoia of the world we live in. Words land on deaf ears, the only sound people want to hear these days are that off guns firing off, of cries of pain and anguish, of desperation. These soldiers aren't fighting a losing war, nor are they fighting one that will ever be won, when will they see this?
