Names of the Dead

[imported_Truenofan]

i dont know about anyone else, but me being in the military, seeing all those names....just makes you kind of wonder about why exactly we're still there, i understand they have to get they're own military and government working and all, but how long is this going to take. how long are we going to have to sit there like we did in vietnam, because we all know its all becoming like that place. i myself am looking at a deployment to iraq within half a year to a year.....so i'll be over there at one time or another.

Our boy served his tours as a Marine rifleman in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and thank God he is home now.

For all of his brother's in arms, we thank you, and we love you.

It's too bad your (American) troops are dying this way.

At least it's good to know that you're not using conscription. I would never support the war if that wasn't the case.

But it could be handled without these many deaths...

but aren't you over there now ?

Good luck, stay safe - and tell us some stories.

Yes i am in Afghanistan, posting via a sattelite connection with a certain delay so bear with me, as if that wasn't enough i use something called JAP and anon proxy thingy to be able to post to anywhere out anytime i am close to a computer.

It uses several servers so the IP can come from your IP at times i guess or at any IP, i am not sure how it works but it works.

I'll tell you some stories, later on when i am home, right now i am posting in a frenzy because my time online is limited.

Take care, i will keep my head down when i can.

To b0mberman: Thank you.

To Klixxer: Thank you!

I knew Edwin Daza Chacon, he was one of my friends and a spitfire to boot. He will be missed by quite alot of people, he touched many in some way to make them feel better, brought laughs, and truly made people feel good when they were around them. I salute him and all of the other men and women in the armed forces, you do a great deed for america and everyone here is cheering you on.
