First of, I want to say I am sorry. I hope he returns home safe and sound.

And no I dont have family thats in Iraq. But two of my High School friends are there. One of them came home for a 3 month stay. She is going to go back next month I believe.

that sucks that she is going back... does she want to??? did she tell you how it was??? i've heard horrible things from the soldiers... no one wants to go...

they told me that they dont get enough food, weapons, body armor, helmits... everything is really BAD! there... and this one guy said that he accidentally killed 7 people because he heard a shot behind him and he just turned around and shot at random people walking on the street, but he is out of there now because he claimed that he is emotionally disturbed from it...

i am a little scared...

and everytime i watch FOX, they make it look like the opposite they say everything is going good, while in the mean time i hear from people who've been there and they say that people die on a daily basis... i dont know...

The American empire is a stupid Empire, and only a tool for Israel. This Iraq war was nothing more than Israeli imperialism cloaked in the mantle of "American democracy". Unless this country unleashes itself from the shackles of Jewish supremacy, then its future does not bode too well. As you can see, now the Zionists are trying to get America embroiled in yet another war, this time with Iran. It will never end, and the stakes and body bags will keep rising.

She says she doesnt want to go back but has to for the next two years. Her sister is also in the Navy..so you got two from the family that are over there.

I asked her how was it. She said it was horrible. It's hard hearing stuff like that. And I didnt know what to say to her. I thanked her for her work and I told her to be safe. And she is so young....only 21 you know. What does a 21 year old know about war much less the 18 year olds that are over there. It was hard to hear her talk....but it was a big suprise when she called. Her voice change. I felt like i was talking to a different person. She has gone through and done something I could never do. Maybe I could for the love of my country. But I would do it for Armenia.

And I have stopped watching Fox. I cant take it anymore. I know its bad becuse we have to know whats going on over there. So my dad watches and tells me everything. Other then that I watch the news a few times in the week.

And what makes me scared is that something might happen to her. But yours is different...yours is family. Im so sorry.

i dont know either... i just called one of my cousins in Armenia and her and i are both really sad about this... people in armenia are so much mroe informed about the truth of the war then we are here in the U.S. even in the villiges...

the TV and radio in Armenia is pretty good... the report everything and when i went there i realized that here in the U.S. truth and honest journalizm has failed miserably and the dumb people in the U.S. are falling for everything...

that was another plus of Armenia, you can turn on the radio and catch the russian, french, german news... turn on the TV and watch news being reported without a lobby group behind them... it was nice to hear the truth, but it was sad to know that the U.S. is one of the worst human rights countries... think about it... starting from the native americans, all the way to iraq... mass murders, killings and unjust wars (vietman, iraq, japan, korea, etc...)

Japan? Come on Japan deserved the war, yes not the a bomb, but the war they did.

holy xxxx people, that is the point... the bomb is the point... germany killed a lot of jews but they dont have as bad a record of human rights as the good ol' U.S.A.

Ya but theyre Asians who cares, haha kidding.
