Bring them home, and promise them we will never ask them to go back. They are to DEFEND our nation, we need them HERE.

It seems everyone was shocked, except this guy:
"When asked by the theater manager for identification proving the group was of age to see the movie, Sexton reportedly snapped at him, “I shot 18 people and you want to see my identification?'”

If he had "sought help" he would have been given a drug that probably would have made him suicidal or homicidal anyway. Poor kid never stood a chance.

God Bless Ron Paul.

I sure hate this...

Another kid.
Safe at home, you would think.
Does anyone know if there is still a stigma attached to a soldier, if he or she goes for mental help? I know there used to be.
I mean, do they feel like less of a soldier, because they are human?

Strange

that the world socialist website seems to be antiwar, their collectivist policies are precisely what causes wars. Are they really this ignorant?

So sad,

so sickening.

I didn't mean to be insensitive, really. I am sorry. This whole thing makes me sick. I was in the Viet Nam era and wrote a poem about the whole absurdity of it when I was 12. I still have it. My brother was in Viet Nam and has never been the same. It was a nightmare for him. He ended up in prison for fighting with cops and he has always been a loner and has constant nightmares. He is a reformed alcoholic but that really messed his life up. He finally his getting compensation for it. So, I understand.

I was just very disturbed by the links on the right of the article when I was reading it. They were distracting and I didn't like what they were promoting. It just goes so against what we believe so that was the last thing on my mind.

Last week I gave one of my

Last week I gave one of my oldest and best friends a call. He's in the army. While we were chatting I started saying "What better way to support the troops..." and he finished that up with exactly what I was about to say: "than to bring them home."

"What better way to support the troops than to bring them home."

Even the soldiers themselves feel this way. We need to just bring them home.

very sad

this is why we need to end

this is why we need to end the wars NOW. All other issues are petty in comparison and can wait.

This breaks my heart.

and galvanizes my conviction to not be the policemen of the world.

This young person had not really lived long enough to know what life is all about. The military indoctrinates people to know life only as the military deems fit.

This young person fought for his/her country admirable. This young person could not reconcile, duty from humanity.

I personally abhor the wars for oil.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost a family member to Oil Profits.

May God have mercy on our souls.

thanks

I do appreciate that.

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

World Socialist Website?

Did you see the propaganda they are pushing on that website? Yuck.

No, I read the story.

I did not really pay any attention to any thing else, including the website. If you wish to debunk this story, I will stand corrected, I did not do my due diligence. Otherwise, your reply strikes me as brutally insensitive.
Truth is where you find it.

Really, I don't. I just got distracted by all of the links on the right of the article. They were quite disturbing to me.

It's so sad, bring them all home.

We have a couple locals that returned home last fall.
One can't even comprehend enough to pay his bills or rent, car was repoed.
He is currently drinking his life away. Before he went, was a great
kid with a fiance waiting at home.

The other one, can't keep a job for nothing. Before he went, had 2 jobs
going through high school and played football.

I would love to see them all home. NOW!!!!!!
