This is a very powerful video, IMHO, read the profile of the girl that posted this. Make me think there is hope for the country after all. Why can't the Dems see what she sees and be as proud of America as she is.

Yeah, I know.

About 3/4 through there is a picture of a little boy, dressed in a Marine uniform...I'm sure it's a his daddy's funeral.

What is the saying, "Pictures are worth 1000 words" ? 

Words absolutely cannot express the feeling of watching this video.

I hope this video makes it to a lot of people... Americans are tragically falling victim to apathy.

I think the big problem is a lot of people are just plain being weary of all the complaining by the press, the obstructionists in Congress. Pepole get discouraged. I mean, every day, all day long they're focusing on everything negative...in order to further their own political goals. They would rather have soldiers die and America "lose" the war than have President Bush appear to have been right. What we need are leaders who want to kick ass not kiss it.

I agree completely. Im in the military and sick of the war. Even my leadership has made references to the effect that this is a complete and utter failure (of course they can only say this in so many words, we must still support our commander in chief right or wrong unfortunately) But why are we not seeing more people stand up and say enough is enough?? I suppose the solution is not easy otherwise it would be done and over with already. However, its ironic how the New General over in Iraq even comments on the fact that any student of history will know that there is no Military solution in Iraq, and a troop surge is simply non-productive in all regards.

When I see the body's being flown back home I don't feel sad, I feel rage.

I hear ya.  It makes my blood boil.  :sheerterror:

I was supprised to see a freind of mine in that video.  His name is Tommy, or at least that's what us civilians call him.  He was stationed out here at Camp Pendleton and now, I think he is stationed somewhere in the South.  He was the Marine in the pic with the strings obstacle.
