2. bones. Good find. that account is really something.

I pity the poor foot solider throughout history throughout the world, carrying out orders killng or getting killed by the other regular guy foot soldiers. Fighting an old man's war.

3. A horrific account of the realities of war

And yet many of the comments to this blog include some sick despicable concept that we are "doing God's work" in Iraq. Where in the Bible did Christ tell his followers to wage war on people who have done you no harm?

My heart goes out to the families of these soldiers, but it also goes out to all of the Iraqis who have died because of this unnecessary war.

4. The last paragraph makes me want to scream

"The last count was 25 dead, and around 45 wounded. Nevertheless, our cause is just and God is in control even when the crap is a yard deep. I'm where God wants me and wouldn't change that for anything, even if it means death. After all, "to die is gain"."

5. "Our cause is just"

Kool-aid drinking fool.

6. Yeah, that part chapped my fanny too

My husband is military and served in Iraq. Quite a few of the other military spouses often repeated:

"If they die, it's God's will"

So I said:

"If my husband dies and some idiot is stupid enough to say that to me, I'm going to shoot them and as they lay dying, ask, 'Is this God's will, too?'"

You should have seen their faces. Priceless.

No one ever said that to me again.

7. Me Too

As a man of God, he most of all should realize that no cause is just when it is based on lies.

[katinmn]

8. It must take this type of rationalization that the war is just

otherwise they would be driven to madness.

But then the question: Is this reality not madness?

10. thanks for posting

that was incredible. i've seen nothing in the MSM that there was a secondary attack...

Regardless of what some may say, these are not stupid people. Any attack with casualties will naturally mean that eventually a very large number of care givers will be concentrated in one location. They took full advantage of that. In the middle of the mayhem the first mortar round hit about 100 to 200 meters away. Everyone started shouting to get the wounded into the hospital which is solid concrete and much safer than being in the open. Soon, the next mortar hit quite a bit closer than the first as they "walked" their rounds toward their intended target...us. Everyone began to rush toward the building. I stood at the door shoving as many people inside as I could. Just before heading in myself, the last one hit directly on top of the hospital. I was standing next to the building so was shielded from any flying shrapnel. In fact, the building, being built as a bunker took the hit with little effect. However, I couldn't have been more than 10 to 15 meters from the point of impact and brother did I feel the shock. That'll wake you up! I rushed inside to find doctors and nurses draped over patients, others on the floor or under something. I ducked low and quickly moved as far inside as I could.

11. You are welcome. n/t

12. This chaplain is supposed to

be a 'man of God'? "....our cause is just and God is in control..."
The fool is supporting Bush's cause; killing innocents. The fool probably believes in hell so, by Jesus, he'll end up there.
