‘Miracle’ Marine dies; terribly burned in Iraq

[God]

Hey Steve! I'm not voting for Mcqueer,Billory or the other one.Army Barracks? is that his name? No, I will vote for the smartest person on the Planet. Barry Bonds. Now, I know a lot of you are thinking-"Barry Bonds the baseball player?", yep, that's the one. Like it or not, he's smarter than the three Bozos up for the job. And he's a damn sight smarter than you. I'm smarter than any of you, if elected, I will not serve.
Besides, we all know the government is run by the military, the Prez is just a puppett and elections are to give the sheep the feeling that they matter. You don't. The Military will continue to run this country as long as you sheep sleep thru it.

For all you haters. Instead of talking trash about the U.S government and calling U.S troops like myself who have been in Iraq terrorists, how about you just get the hell out of the country if you don't like what it/we represent.

I am sure no one means you disrespect for what you believe in and have fought for.
Mike I wish it was people being haters for all of America's sake.
There are many unaswered questions and concerns about the reason we are in Iraq that is not a reflection of what you are doing or have done. It is a reflection of our President and he should have to answer for it.

Marine Sgt. Merlin German, 22, of New York City, died on April 11 at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, from wounds suffered during combat in Iraq in 2002.

My heart is heavy for the family and friends of Marine Sgt. Merlin German and every family that has lost their sons, fathers, brothers, daughters, wives and sisters--loved ones--in war.

I did not know Sgt. German personally. Neither can I call the names of the thousands of young soldiers who have died in military service to this country since and before !MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! was declared by our President several years ago. But I know the pain of never again being able to see the face or hold the hand of a father or a brother.

I salute you Marine Sgt. Merlin German! One more soldier gone home!

Hey Blak AFVET, the U.S also helped make the Viet Cong to fight off the Japaneese in WWII, we also helped arm the Talliban to fight the Soviets, mistakes happen and they turn to bite you in the ass, it happens. Just because the U.S made a mistake and helped put Saddam in power, doesn't mean we can't take him out of it either. Was some person at the time supposed to tell the future that we would end up fighting the Viet Cong, Talliban and Saddam later in the future? Were they supposed to know Saddam was a sadistic crazy ass that would use poison gas on the Curds?

Thanks George!

I guess you have a reading problem. Are you really clueless as to what is going on? I did provide facts. FACT: Saddam did have WMDs. FACT: There is no evidence to prove Bush lied about anything. If you want to claim him as a liar then by all means please show me the goods. Why should I have to prove he didn't? All I know is he was going by faulty intel (that is fact). you cannot counter that so who is the one coming up short with facts? you make the accusation, YOU prove it. FACT: Germany, UK, Italy, China, and many other nations also came to the same conclusions. FACT: Saddam did intentionally mislead the world into thinking he still possessed WMDs.
These I consider to be common knowledge. If you are so niave as to not be aware of this and need to be spoon-fed with references to these facts then you are no match to debate me on any serious issue. I will provide you these facts if you wish, however they are so easy to discover if you shread your partisan-political mentality.
I'm not a Bush advocate. I find him to be quite inadequate on many issues concerning our country. However I do not succumb to the partisan wrangling that many people seem to get wrapped up in. And I cannot stand ignorance, on either side of the political spectrum. Just that lately it seems the majority of pea-brains are coming from the far left.
I would be more than happy to engage in a fair-minded, honest, and non-agenda-driven debate with anyone. I don't claim to know all but I can guarantee you one thing; as long as I keep a fair mindset and stick to the facts I can lambast ANYONE who isn't likewise.
So you want to debate? Fine. But I won't continue to waste my time with someone who refuses to be objective and fair. If you wish to continue to be ignorant then I have no further use for you. Your choice.

If you were to back away from that ultra Big Bowl of Stupid you consume on a daily basis. You'd see just how inane your post actually is. It's been tallied over a thousand times that the shrub lied. And it was proven that even though Saddam had some WMD's at one time, none have been found since America illegally invaded Iraq.

It is a fact however that none of the pilots pf the 9/11/01 attack were from Iraq. It is common knowledge that Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden did not trust each other. In fact bin Laden considered Hussein an infidel.

Try doing a little research before inserting your hoof into your maw.

[No maybe its u]

Most of our soldiers are very brave and it's sad they're forced to fight this game being played. It is real but to Bush and his buddies, this is an opportunity. It's time to bring them home and protect this country.

This forum was not strted for a political debate but to honor a brave young man so for all you Morons on here making your negative comments:I wonder how you would feel if it was one of your family members in the Twin Towers or on that plane on September 11th..So for you THIS IS A MORON FREE FORUM AND YOUR IGNORANT ASSES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT!!!

[Mike]

To Question: Im not exactly for the war either. But it's something our President dragged us into, like it or not. Thats not gonna go away. I will say I have talked to Iraqi people that are so thankfull of the change. I wanted to do my part to help end it all and hopefully one day restore peace in Iraq. Was there WMD's? I doubt it. But again, talking to the civilians in Iraq does make it worth it.

[No maybe its u]

Wow.. This is the second thread and forum you posted that remark in. You suck. People suck regardless if they're "Christians" or Athiest or whatever. lets hope you don't have a little heart attack tomorrow because of your statement today. Maybe God hates you.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Yes his death is a tragedy, but do you ever consider that this IS the result of war... ON BOTH SIDES.

[JenniferInSC]

How sad. The world is a lesser place with this man gone.

I hope he is in a better place, as he deserves peace after what he has endured while/after serving his country.

I will respect and admire the memory of this man until the die, I, too, am in my grave.

Then why don't you have the same cavalier attitude about the 9/11/01 attack. Aiding in the murders of 250,000 Iranians and aiding in the detention of 60,000 to 100,000 political prisoners isn't some little mistake for these people to just get over, as you sheeple tend to say.

After all this all you can offer is oops, sorry, my bad. Then maybe you should start with oops sorry, your bad when it comes to 9/11.

Did you check Operation Ajax 08/19/1953? Did you check Operation PBSuccess 1954 in Guatemala, with the coup that ousted President Arbenz and caused decades of corruption and nearly 200,000 dead Guatemalans?

How about the 44,000 innocent civilians who died during Operation Phoenix in Vietnam?

How about the assassination of Allende 1973 in Chile and the installation of that Dictator Pinochet?

These are not random oops sorry my bad, they are direct attempt of manipulation of foreign governments for the financial gians of corporate ameriKKKa.

Like I said please do your homework and then hit me back. Have a Nice Day fellow Vet.

One other thing Mike. Check out Iraqgate and how American Companies sold dual purpose components that could be used to make both chemical and biological weapons. This was during the reagan/bush years.
