F*CK F*CK F*CK-the Nephew of my friend, 18, died for BUSH"S LIES on Sunday

I am so angry and sad right now. He had only been there about six weeks, F*CK Bush and his "surge"....

Steven gave his life because he fell for the lies of B*SH and the recruiters.

His aunt was my son's homeschool teacher when my son was a freshman and sophmore in high school. The boys were the same age. I remember when his aunt was trying to educate her nephew about how this war is built on lies and that were other options for getting a college education. Unfortunately his mother was gung ho for the war....

I am giving my son an extra special hug tonight and glad that he has NO thoughts of ever voluntarily enlisting and has plans in the works if there is ever a draft.

He was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kansas.

:cry: :hug:

I hate the repukes so much I feel like throwing up.
I am so sorry for every death to anyones child or our troops.We have become cold uncaring big corporate america.
I wish the dems would stand up and end this damn war NOW

So damned young.

up his training cycle and sent him way to early....

It's criminal sending these young men and women withought all of their training.

The * Cabal will burn in Hell for the crimes they have committed against the American people and the people of Iraq.

I am sorry.

:cry:

May you all find peace and comfort quickly.

I despise this usurper in the WH...:grr:

So young.

Hugs to you and yours, fed-up.:hug:

For what?

I swear, when the bush** administration are in chains at the Hague I think the one thing that they must be forced to do, up to AND INCLUDING torture, is to tell us if they feel good now. How much blood and bone and tissue does it take to make them feel like they really did something? Do they really feel like big men? Do they seriously think this obscenity of a murderfest in the Middle East made up for their craven cowardice when it was their turn to serve (but didn't)?

I just went to dinner with my daughter, Mom, grandson and son. We very rarely discuss politics because even though my Mom is old and sick I do come unglued when she defends blivet. I think she thinks I become unbalance or slightly unhinged. And maybe I do. But I notice tonight that when bush** & company came up she just put her head down and ate her dinner. A very wise decision because I was in no mood to listen to any shit in the first place.

Now this. This poor child. I think I'll go to bed.

I have two teenagers and their friends are in my home all of the time. Some are turning 18 this year. I can't imagine them in Iraq.

It breaks my heart, I think about it all of the time. ...I don't think I could take all this sadness anymore. ..This war is such a waste of lives, I hate it.

It makes me sick each time I hear of another young life ended so tragically for no reason.

"This is the saddest story I have ever heard."

How often I find myself quoting Ford Madox Ford nowadays.

His poor Aunt must be so upset that she couldn't keep him out of Bush's paws.


I am so sorry Steven died :(


RIP.

:cry: My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family. :cry: :hug:

He was younger than my granddaughters. And my grandson will be 11 next month. If somebody doesn't stop this clusterfuck first I'll kick his parents ass if they make one fuckin peep about letting him enlist.

that an 18 year old has been trained sufficiently to be in a war zone. I am so sorry.

edited to add that I am supposed to be posting the info about Cindy in its own thread, but am a little fog brained just now

I am sure there will be a huge turnout....

When will the madness end

not one more mother, aunt, uncle, father, friend should have to go through this

and I just read at icasualties.org that a San Francisco boy just died....




and edited to add thanks for the condolences

that is terrible. you, your family and his all have my sympathy.

I suppose bush and his witch won't show up to his funeral or even send a card, to be sure. This sort of photo op might awaken the sleeping dirty thirty percent who still support this creep.

Pfc. Steven J. Walberg :patriot:

:cry:

If I knew some words that would help I would say them.
If I knew something to do that would help ease the pain I would.
If I just knew what to do.

Please give my love to his family.

Much love and hugs to you in this difficult time.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, very sorry. I cannot imagine and wish there were words to express to make you feel better, but there are to few for this.

We have to stop this madman's policies to save our military and the innocent Iraqis.

RIP Steven.
:cry:

So totally final, and so damned senseless. Sorry I can't be of any better cheer. I'm thoroughly fed up with the deaths, as I'm sure you and your family are as well.

I'm so sorry.

I wish them comfort and healing.

Then, undoubtedly, it will be off to Iraq. I tried to warn him about this possibility when he signed up last summer, but he wouldn't listen. He was just looking forward to the benefits he will get when he gets out. Yeah, if he gets out or gets out in one piece. He may not be physically hurt, but my fear is that he will be psychologically destroyed. Damn, this kid does not even shave regularly yet.

Way too young to die.
This has GOT to stop!

I, too am angry and sad, for Steven, for his family, for you, and for all the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, friends who have lost loved ones because we have an idiot child as the "decider."

I thank God every day that my children have no thoughts of enlisting. I can't even imagine what I'd do if they did, and they died for this moron's ego.

My heart goes out to you, fed-up.

Well, she's living the consequences. I can think of no experience more horrific for any kool-aid drinker than that. What a stupid waste.

And for anyone who wants to quibble like those pussy pols, damn right it's a waste. If a firefighter dashes into a burning building and gives his life trying to rescue a victim, that's a noble sacrifice. If he goes in there thinking there's someone but everyone is out and he still dies, it's still a sacrifice but an empty one since it accomplished nothing. But if you've got a pile of people outside and the fire chief doesn't get a headcount to see if anyone is missing before sending the guy back in and he dies, that's just a stupid pointless waste. The tragedy comes not just from the death itself but because it was also preventable and never should have happened. No slight on his heroism but he died for nothing. Friends and family might want to make it out to be bigger than what it is but it ain't. Pat Tilman's death wasn't a sacrifice, it was a stupid waste AND a coverup. Those who participated in that cowardice should be in jail for life.

:cry:

Paradise is so beautiful -- close to the American dream. It's a friggin shame this young man had to die in the American nightmare.

And again and again and again, until we impeach the mother fucker.

RIP.

How many more have to die?
How many more lies can we take
until it breaks us all ?

Stand up, sit down or shut up for the truth.
The merchants of death are calling to us all
while selling their wares.

I'm sorry he bought the goods......RIP

Now we need to get up, stand up for our rights.

Rest assured that you and your family have my deepest in thoughts, prayers, sympathies and condolences :hug: Words are inadequate but I am so very sorry

I work in TV. I can't stop the ads. But my stomach turns sick whenever I see these ads encouraging parents to "talk to your son or daughter about joining the Army."

I have no problem with people who want to serve their country. But is anyone who joins the armed forces today, in 2007, really serving their country?

It's time for some of the YouTube people, who can put together video, to put something together parodying these ads, mocking them, pointing out how wrong they are, and how soldiers are being lied to and sacrificed on an altar of greed.

:hug: :cry:

Rest in peace, Pfc. Walberg.

for nothing but lies. I deepest sympathy to your friend.

I'm glad to hear your son knows what the real deal is and is unwilling to fall for the lies.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

:cry:

FUCK :mad: STOP THIS MADNESS NOW!
:cry:
:cry:
:cry:
:cry:

I never have to write a post such as yours.

I feel your pain fed-up.

peace

Far too many young men and women ahve lost thier lives in a war that should not be. We have lived thru four years of hell while our grandson has been to Iraq twice and now in Afganistan.Its a constant stress and worry. He just turned 19 on his first tour, and was promised all this great schooling. Well guess what, he has'nt seen it at all, and he signed up for 6yrs with AF to get it!
Lies , lies and more lies, he gets it now!

and his family.

:grr: :banghead:
