I wonder how many children died because of the illegal war she was supporting.
1.5 million civilian deaths in Iraq now. That’s 1/4 of the number of Jews killed by Adolf Hitler.

I wonder how many people have and are being kept safe because of our military, supporting and providing OUR freedom. Including the writer “Worg” Don’t be a hater at the military, they deserve our respect. You want to change things, vote and encourage other to vote. This photo is beautiful!!
June 19th, 2008 at 13:04:41
Worg is a worm. His two comments show his lack of understanding. I reccomend that he should go to Iraq and demonstrate his global understanding of love by jumping on a bomb to save the children. Send me your address and I’ll buy the ticket for you!

I agree magoo the war in Iraq was fully supported by the people of the world, it wasnt illegal at all.
Your lack of understanding is shown by trying to think and we all know Americans arent capable of that thinking( well you cant count deciding if you want fries with that thinking).
June 21st, 2008 at 10:45:48
While I disagree with the war in Iraq, I support our military 100%. It is not this woman’s fault that she was pulled into the Middle East to fight. I think this picture is absolutely beautiful. :]

It’s official: Everyone who has commented so far except for Dari is either an idiot, an asshole, or both.

What a beautiful picture, brought tears in my eyes as I somewhat know how it feels to have your parent finally come home from overseas. I will never support this war (or any war) but I will always support my troops.
July 3rd, 2008 at 08:19:41
Fuck the troops.
July 3rd, 2008 at 14:34:00
My husband is defending your right to say that. But I don’t give a shit about you motherfucker. Pray I don’t find you or I’ll rip you pieces. Have some respect for the men and women who die to defend this country and your pathetic life.
July 3rd, 2008 at 14:37:32
Well said Dari, Riya and BrittanyNicole =]
The war itself may be screwed up and the people that started too but you shouldn’t hate the soldiers for it.
August 6th, 2008 at 13:17:32
Wow, you people are messed up. First, you can’t support the troops and not the war, that’s a cop-out. Be pissed at the politicians that want to run military business. That F’s it all up since politics is based on the changing winds of emotions. That picture brought a tear to my eye. You crazy bastards just think you’re so F-ing smart and that with your “expert opinion” obtained by the media and other weirdos you know exactly what needs to happen over here too! I don’t tell you how to sack groceries, serve up hamburgers, or mow yards at your place of work, leave the military to make miltary decisions! I’m proud to be here and serve my country. Those of you that support us (and the war we are in), thank you. The rest of you, including “someguy”, go suck a nut!!
September 1st, 2008 at 02:33:54
So…what exactly do you people believe the country of Iraq did to the United States? They were attacked on the basis of “WMDs”
However now that the war has already been dragging on, members of the group that were assigned to investigate the presence of WMDs in Iraq are speaking up and saying that the news was LYING the entire time. Look it up, there’s videos of members of the committee speaking. Maybe the United States should try to take care of our homeless problem instead of taking down a dictator in a country that has NO TIES TO US EXCEPT FOR OIL.
September 20th, 2008 at 16:40:04
I never like war, noone does! There’ll be many casualties, lost of moms, dads, daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, neighbors, etc. But sometime, you have to stand on your ground! Tell your enemy that it is a big mistake to mess with you!
So people no matter what you say and what have been said here either good or bad about war (troops=war)realize this: there are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, your neighbors out there who keep you SAFE, defend your dignity that makes you able to sit down, drink your coffee, eat your donuts, and blogging here.
Think first before you type your comment here of what they deserve after what they’ve done to you!
Just FYI, I’m not Americans yet I’m so grateful of what your troops have done for you! Shame on you who has not proud of your own troops and country! Why don’t you move to MY country and soon enough you’ll find out of what you have!
January 12th, 2009 at 02:45:45
I served 3 tours in Iraq and I have yet to be told why we went to Iraq over any other country with a dictator. Why Iraq? Why Iraq? How is that defending any American’s freedom? Again I ask- Why Iraq? Please support us, we need it. Bring us home and look at the issues. I had no choice but to go. Please quit being “willing-to-please” brown nosing suckups and just supporting authority because that’s what your daddy taught. Every war our country engages in can’t be a just war. Be critical thinkers, America, or your principles are just going to kill more of us. . .
January 12th, 2009 at 03:34:47
Christ Worg, even the most liberal sites I’ve seen put the number at no more than 100,000. If you’re gonna spew troll bullshit, at least get your facts straight.

To all the proud americans on this site:
Europe knows that there was no reason for this war other than OIL! Face it, this time the USA fucked up big time! Your “clean” image of “the protector of the innocent” or whatever you were trying to pose as - it`s not working anymore. And for the body count… are you really so dumb to believe that shit? The information you get is polished and twisted, to make your goverment look good.
However, personally I don`t hold any grudge against american soldiers, they`re just doing their job, they probably believe that they actually do the right thing. Just like our men and women, just lie any other soldier, just like the ones they are fighting!
PS: Thanks for all the terror you brought upon us!

Hey Docci,just like the shoe thrower,your heads wont be lopped off because of the very thing you now protest.

Really?!?! Are you serious? This was never about oil. If anything Europe got more oil from this. Oh and the terror in Europe was going on full force before we walked into Iraq. You probably vote for the liberal party. Your no better than the far left dems. in this country that constitute Fareignheight 911 as legitimate documentary. Even well know respected democrats see this piece of crap a joke and you along with it.

all of you ruin the photo. its a beautiful picture
March 19th, 2009 at 22:30:20
She is a murderer. Iraq posed no threat to the US. She killed countless civilians and left many children motherless and many mothers without children.
March 19th, 2009 at 22:32:39
“I wonder how many people have and are being kept safe because of our military”
Kept safe from iraq? where as the weapons of mass destruction?
Iraq had oil that is the be all and end all of it, and America will be remembered for its illegal and immoral destruction of a soveriegn nation.
There was no protection involved here, just murder, for oil. This woman should have known better, than going to war against a country that posed no threat to her own.
March 19th, 2009 at 22:36:57
“It is not this woman’s fault that she was pulled into the Middle East to fight.”
Yes it IS her fault, no one put a gun to her head and forced her to go and murder people in iraq. Mohamaed Ali refused to goto war, she had the same choice.
The military is supposed to be a force that protects its own country against threats, iraq was no threat. Not only did America start an illegal war, they also broke the geneva convention with its torture tactics.
Thus, all americans who took part in the war, are murderers. There is no escaping this fact, scream and shout all you like, but the fact remains the war was for oil, the WOMD where fabricated, and America is simply a bully who murders to get what it wants.
March 19th, 2009 at 22:39:21
“Have some respect for the men and women who die to defend this country and your pathetic life.”
They didnt die defending the country, post some evidence that iraq posed a threat, or cease insisting that ANYONE died to protect america or its citizens. The soliders who fought in iraq murdered, not in self defense, but for oil.
March 19th, 2009 at 22:42:04
“be pissed at the politicians that want to run military business.”
Politicians may have started the war, but since the US was not in any danger from Iraq, the soliders had a MORAL duty not to fight.
If the politicans told the soliders to go and kill everyone in california, and the did it, would that absolve them from the crime?
No, and just because iraq is far away from you, doesnt make any difference. Soliders living in america had the right to refuse, they may have been thrown out the army, but rather that than go murder insosent people who posed no threat to the country.
March 21st, 2009 at 09:26:21
It seems many Americans have great pride in “their” soldiers, but are easily offended by someone disagreeing with them. They lose control of their emotions, because there is a conflict with their rationality.
If they met up with the relatives of a civilian killed by the troops, would they feel the same pride then? If not, why do they feel it at “home”?
March 22nd, 2009 at 20:17:42
fucking little faggots who think that you can’t support the soldiers and not the war is pretty damn stupid. Those guys are out in a shitty place, and I hope they get back asap. Bitch-ass patriots need to learn when to take a fucking dick to the mouth and research what the hell the Constitution stood for. The sort of nonsensical religious loyalty to the President is EXACTLY WHAT NONE OF THE SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE DESIRED
suck on that, Republican asshats
March 22nd, 2009 at 23:06:29
What’s everybody got against oil?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:20:59
As Paul said, you can support the soldiers without supporting the war… They don’t have much of a choice, unless they want to get court martiald and/or dishonorably discharged from service, which totally doesn’t look good on a resume’.
March 23rd, 2009 at 22:20:55
filthy anti american maggots….find a hole away from our blessed country that will put up with you louses…
March 24th, 2009 at 14:28:05
So um, lets all calm down.
First off the picture has nothing to do with A war. If it does, there is NO depiction of which war either. The woman could have just got back from boot camp for Christ sake. Second, regardless of your view of the war, bitching about it here will get you no where. People are headstrong in these text wars online and nothing will change minds except one magic word. Are you ready for it? It’s REASON. Think before acting and think before speaking. This picture is strictly focusing on bond that shared between the two characters and we don’t even know their relation. Just shut your mouths as if being in an art gallery and observe. Not even the original poster added a caption. So chill out everyone. And please remember that you are all way better then the other person and have much more going on in your life than these other posters, because the fact that false identities floating around make your view, opinions, and backgrounds TOTALLY legitimate. Oh and yes you ARE all better than the next person, and lets face it that why we are all online right now with nothing better to do. Because we have our own lives under wraps :D
So next time what do we do? We THINK, and we remain respectable people. Because that is what separates us from animals. So be a human :D
March 30th, 2009 at 22:20:59
get the hell out of our country you ungrateful bastard they fight over there so they wont bring the fight over here illegal war my ass
April 7th, 2009 at 08:20:50
The invasion was wrong, and illegal. Bush and his entire cabinet should be arrested but I don’t think it’s going to happen. The ‘invisible’ world government allowed the invasion, even though it was illegal according to our Constitution. Saddam was not an immediate threat, and we invaded for the oil, because Saddam has the world’s third largest oil reserves, which on top of that are easy to harvest. He refused to allow it to be exported and paid for it with his life.
9/11 was an inside job. 250 smoking guns prove it: http://thewebfairy.com/killtown/911smokingguns.html
charlie: you’re an idiot.
April 16th, 2009 at 20:38:24
I agree with Phil. I hope for the sake of us all that more people can try to understand the true nature of politics and government. It is not in the nature of people in power to have the interest of the masses in mind. It has never been. It is not now. It will not be soon. If you believe that a billionare cares about you, you need to wake up and realize they’d let you and your whole family die.
There is now and has always been only one war, the rich VS the poor.

It is absolutely and entirely her fault that she was pulled into war. She signed up for military service and was called up. I think it’s despicable that anyone (mother or father) with children would enlist. Fuck the troops, they all deserve to die for ever even considering taking another’s life for a country.

Our troops need you: provide them with the treatment they need and deserve. Donate and join this worthy cause.

Guys, why do you have to shove your thoughts everywhere?
Let the photo be.
Does she look like she wants to be out fighting?
No, she probably joined the military out of love for her country. Since people do that, you know, and feel a need to be a par t of something.
She likely didn’t sign up for the war itself.
You guys miss the emotion of the photo that makes it a beautiful thing.
She just wants to be home with her child, it’s right there.
War is tough on everyone involved.
And it’s easy to talk shit when you’re sitting around in your homes, acting without shame across the internet.
June 10th, 2009 at 21:25:45
Look people, she did what she had too, she did it for us all, now she got to come home to the one thing that matters in her life, you think she was happy with killing anyone? no, no mother could happily take the life of someone….this war may or may not have been nessacery, but at least there is some hope for the others and there families…so don’t be Ass holes and hate her for it. stop being cowards sitting in your homes, if you want change, go out and change. she is fighting for your right to do that.
July 8th, 2009 at 15:16:48
Fuck the American people, fuck your war, fuck your troops and fuck your misguided ideas about protecting your country how about policing the fucking world and taking out anybody who wont conform to what you fat fucks want.
July 28th, 2009 at 02:03:59
Wow. For people who like to use phrases like “OUR country” a lot of you aren’t very understanding of other people’s opinions. So they think the war was illegal and shouldn’t have happened. You don’t. So what? Does that mean we all have to act like 5 year olds throwing insults on the playground? If you love this country so much, stop compromising the right of expression that others are supposed to be granted. Freedom of speech means that everyone gets that freedom, and you can’t make them shut up just because you don’t agree with them. It’s not supposed to be the “American way,” but what I have read here is deeply troublesome.
August 5th, 2009 at 21:34:37
I once saw a video of a few American soldiers shooting and killing women and children who appeared to be innocent and then laughing about murdering those people… Since then I have been against this war.
August 14th, 2009 at 23:15:39
I just read through every comment here, and I am surprised that one essential thing didn’t come up. Not everyone signs up for the military out of a loyalty to our nation. There is no way for us to know the life story of the woman in this picture, why she signed up in the first place. Maybe she signed up because there was no other way for her to pay for college (which the military will do for you when you are not on call). Maybe there was not enough money for that girl and whatever other family members there are to be housed, fed, and well kept, so she joined the military (who will supply her with rent-free housing, medical care, and a commissary from which to buy cheaper food and supplies). Money, essentially. While the men and women who enlist are thrown around like tools, there is no denying that their families are most often very well taken care of. This is one of the main reasons people enlist in the first place. They know the risk, but when our country is so greedy and corrupt, what choices to they really have?
January 7th, 2010 at 18:19:59
war is part of life u cant have light with out the dark i support our troops 100% but the war could of been done a lil differently and i dont like the war cause both my parents were deployed…..they havent come back but thanks to them i will keep on being free keep living in a world where i can think and do freely i might have lost my family but i will not lose my life cause some idot thinks the military is a waist if it was a waist we would either be speaking german russian chines or japanese so who ever thinks the military is nothing think about what language you as a person living in AMERICA what you are speaking…….GOD BLESS AMERICA

I don’t understand what your all mad about,most if not all of you are going to hell-fire…and believe me this women will be their to.this include a lot of Muslim who believe they are on the right path..this world is so f***ed up..and i don’t want to hear anything about “this woman or any man die for me to be able to say this..I live cause Allah will it, not cause some man with a gun say so..this world was never(NEVER) meant to be are home,but we made sure we f***ed it up real good “GOOD JOB”..you sit on your computer in get so mad when somebody say something to you(ARE YOU FOR REAL) you should be more worry about that hell- fire that’s going to be your home for the rest of time…
