i am very upset with our nation and mostly the media, my brothers are in Iraq along with many other soldiers from nebraska and around the U.S. in the last week 7 soldiers from my brothers' group have died/been killed and all the news said was that they died, no names no reasons no nothing the entire segmant took at most 5 seconds and then was taken over by the dead crocodile hunter and stupid J.B. Ramsey crap.
this makes me so mad i can't even explain how made it makes me and my brothers can't talk about it. I got a message from my younger brother it says: some shitty things have happened this week, Jeff and i are fine, can't talk about it, watch the news tonight. how do i respond? dear Jon i love you and i'm glad your ok but the news here in the U.S. no longer cares about all of you over there they can only talk about people who died 10 years ago and a stupid austrailian that was asking for it. Ya right i can't send him that he doesn't need to know that no one cares.
one of the men that died was in a hummer accident weeks ago and instead of being sent to the U.S. for hospitalization he was sent to Germany, his wife (of 4 years this month) flew over to see him briefly before he passed. this man's name was Jeff, the local news briefly staited; Newlywed soldier dies in Iraq his name was Jeff. THATS IT thats all they said! they said nothing about how he got married before he went to Bosnia in 2002 returned in 2003 left his wife again for training was home for a little while then got sent out for training to go to Iraq fall 2005 and went to iraq March 2006, his wife has been robbed and so has his family and our wonderful media says 9 words about him so that the public can remain in the dark. My older brother Jeff was in Bosnia with this man, he tained with him for the past 5 years and was close to him in Iraq as well.
i'm done venting it is just nice to know that if my brothers do die in Iraq i won't hear about it on the news.
