From an Angry Soldier

I'm having the worst damn week of my whole damn life so I'm going to write this while I'm pissed off enough to do it right.

I am SICK of all this bullshit people are writing about the Iraq war. I am abso-fucking-lutely sick to death of it. What the fuck do most of you know about it? You watch it on TV and read the commentaries in the newspaper or Newsweek or whatever god damn yuppie news rag you subscribe to and think you're all such fucking experts that you can scream at each other like five year old about whether you're right or not. Let me tell you something: unless you've been there, you don't know a god damn thing about it. It you haven't been shot at in that fucking hell hole, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are "Supporting our Troops" and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I'll tell you why. I'm a Marine and I served my tour in Iraq. My husband, also a Marine, served several. I left the service six months ago because I got pregnant while he was home on leave and three days ago I get a visit from two men in uniform who hand me a letter and tell me my husband died in that fucking festering sand-pit. He should have been home a month ago but they extended his tour and now he's coming home in a box.

You fuckers and that god-damn lying sack of shit they call a president are the reason my husband will never see his baby and my kid will never meet his dad.

And you know what the most fucked up thing about this Iraq shit is? They don't want us there. They're not happy we came and they want us out NOW. We fucked up their lives even worse than they already were and they're pissed off. We didn't help them and we're not helping them now. That's what our soldiers are dying for.

Oh while I'm good and worked up, the government doesn't even have the decency to help out the soldiers whos lives they ruined. If you really believe the military and the government had no idea the veterans' hospitals were so fucked up, you are a god-damn retard. They don't care about us. We're disposable. We're numbers on a page and they'd rather forget we exist so they don't have to be reminded about the families and lives they ruined while they're sipping their cocktails at another fund raiser dinner. If they were really concerned about supporting the troops, they'd bring them home so their families wouldn't have to cry at a graveside and explain to their children why mommy or daddy isn't coming home. Because you can't explain it. We're not fighting for our country, we're not fighting for the good of Iraq's people, we're fighting for Bush's personal agenda. Patriotism my ass. You know what? My dad served in Vietnam and NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

So I'm pissed. I'm beyond pissed. And I'm going to go to my husband funeral and recieve that flag and hang it up on the wall for my baby to see when he's older. But I'm not going to tell him that his father died for the stupidty of the American government. I'm going to tell him that his father was a hero and the best man I ever met and that he loved his country enough to die for it, because that's all true and nothing will be solved by telling my son that his father was sent to die by people who didn't care about him at all.

Fuck you, war supporters, George W. Bush, and all the god damn mother fuckers who made the war possible. I hope you burn in hell.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests


Purely fueled by emotion, and I don't blame her one bit! I feel sad for her, and I worry about the handfuls of people in my life over there now fighting this war.

I wish they didn't have to be there, but I think it's good in the long run they are.


Obviously she wouldn't be in the military and fighting if she didn't believe in that way of life, and she speaks thru a heart of pain. *hugs*

I think being there has made a significant change and we should slowly withdraw, not just withdraw all at once. We are making a difference being there, for the people. We have conquered their dictatorship and horrible rule, and shouldn't leave until a form of gov't is installed for them.

Wow. What else is there to say. Poor woman, poor kid.

"She" wrote this letter on April 10, 2007.
"He" died three days earlier.

As per this website (http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx?hndRef=4-2007), no US Marines fitting a description remotely similar to her letter were killed anytime between April 1 and April 10 of that year.

Just sounds like an anti-war activist who should have researched a little better.

Sounds like Cindy Sheehan... on crack.

First of all, "she" posted it on April 10. That doesn't necessarily mean it was written on April 10th. Second of all, she said that men came to tell her that he had died three days before, not that he had died three days before.

So to conclude, I'd take this letter with a grain of salt too, but I hardly think you've debunked anything here.

The letter is real,a former marine posted a reply on the thread i posted on the DSL message bases!

ask him how often marines refer to themselves as soldiers.:thumbs:


i'm not saying it's never been done, but i find it unlikely.

True that.

hhmmm.....now that I think about it,I never once heard Joey refer to himself as a soldier. He always called himself a Marine.

1. Second of all, she said that men came to tell her that he had died three days before, not that he had died three days before.
2. So to conclude, I'd take this letter with a grain of salt too, but I hardly think you've debunked anything here.
1. How long do you think the Marines would wait to notify her, a former Marine herself?

2. Anyone is free to go to the website, check the names, cross reference them to websites that give family histories and find out who this is.
Don't bother for April.

What about the first point I made? She could've posted the letter multiple times, and that might not have been the first time. Or she could've written the letter for some other purpose and then later decided to post it on Craigslist. Or someone else could've read it and decided to post it on CL themselves because they thought it was important. I really don't think that the date it was posted is necessarily the date it was written. Therefore, unless you can prove that it was actually written on that date, you haven't debunked anything.

For those of you who seem to have forgotten, i'll simply say




You Cant Believe Everything You Read On The Internet :D

Of course, Havok. I would say there's a 50/50 chance that this letter was written by an actual Marine.

i'd say there's a 0% chance the title was.
