We Were Soldiers!!
By Rev. Mark Shadow
I just finished watching the movie We
Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson for about the 10th time. It is in my
opinion one of the best war movies ever done. It gets to the hart of war
and the extreme cost of sending our sons & daughters into battle.
A famous General once said a soldier above
all else prays for peace because only he truly understands the meaning
of WAR. And if you’ve ever served in a war you understand this. I once
had the privilege of working for a man named Colonel Blackwell whom I hear
made General (well deserved I might ad) He was a fine leader like this
Hal More. I would have charged Hell Itself with a bucket of ice water if
he asked.
Because there was not a doubt in my mind that
if he asked me to do it he would do it himself. He did not put on
heirs he drove an old truck and wore old cowboy boots. He was not one of
the ring knockers (military college grads West point Annapolis Ect.) as
the military calls them. He came up the hard way from enlisted. There are
dam few officers like them and we sure could use more. I served in
the first Gulf war in the signal corps. And suffer from Gulf War Syndrome
at the moment I am still recovering from a stroke at the age of 38
Because the military used experimental drugs
on US in my Opinion and a lot of researchers but the military won’t recognize
the research. Why because then they would have to admit guilt and it is
cheaper to let us die than to help us. Look at what they did to the Vietnam
Vets with Agent Orange The swore to the American People for 20 years that
Agent Orange had nothing to do with those men’s problems. Swore to the
Vets Watched them suffer and die. Then after thousands of these men died
they decided to admit guilt and pay the few that were left. Now they are
doing the same thing to the Gulf War Vets. And soon they will be doing
it to the second Gulf War Vets. They Give Them the run around loose paperwork
swear it was not filed or my personal favorite send only the paperwork
that you have to respond to in a certain time or they will close your claim
to a five-year-old address that you were not even using when you filed
the claim. (Most of which I have the documentation to prove and my congressman
have done nothing).
And I am sure they will do the same things
to the new batch. I personally suffer from severe hypertension, Extremely
high cholesterol It has been over 4000 at times, baretts esophagus, hiatal
hernia, I have lost a lot of bowel control, stroke, chronic fatigue, sensitivity
to light and heat, depression. All of witch is documented at the VA hospital
I go to. And listed on almost any list of symptoms for Gulf War Syndrome.
And lots of research on the subject.
Do a search on Google for yourself and see.
And after 12 or so years of fighting with the VA I draw 30% 320.00 a month
(cant live on that can you) service connected disability at the time of
writing this article. Now the changes needed probably will not happen in
my lifetime. But please these men fought for YOU and YOUR FAMILY help the
next Generation.
And not just soldiers Police Firemen and many
other professions risk their lives everyday so you and your family can
live safely. Do what you can to help them all. These Gulf War 2 Vets are
already flooding into the hospitals according to the nurses at the Va I
talked to. And their words quote “ These Poor Guys are all $##^@^ up “
They are going to need a lot of help. WE ALL OWE IT TO them every person
that draws free breath in this country. Owes these young men and women
their lives and freedom. The least we can do is make it so they have an
easier time than all the previous war vets.
And as a former war vet I am begging you call
the President (who says we need to support these guys and then cuts the
VA budget) your Congressmen (who let him do it) and any other $$%#^%@##^
that you can think of that can help. Raise money hire lawyers whatever
protest. These brave men and women deserve better. They wont even get a
medal if they suffer for 10 years of something and die. The least we can
do is make their problems as worry free as possible. So they do not feel
like they are a burden on their family.
So sit down and watch We Where Soldiers and
decide what you owe these men. As you may believe Mark Shadow is not my
real name just one I use on the Internet. But I really am a legally Ordained
Minister I can be reached through
