please RATE Pfc James Conner's yahoo pix - he took shrapnel in the face

[jean]

today. This is a very rare picture - they don't let us see many instances of blood and injury.

Please give it your rating and send some good will to young James and the rest of our people over there.

3. So this is what we're doing to our kids?

Jesus Christ! This is a KID. And we are only seeing the wounds on the outside. You don't send babies to kill, die and live in horror. Only the middle-aged should have to fight these bloody wars. Instead, they send kids off to kill and die for them.

5. This is rough but thank you so much for posting

I've sent the url along to a number of folks, including people I know who are Repubs who have kids at or nearing draft age.

6. Americans should see more photos like this...it would STOP bush* wars

ASAP....all this is truly hidden from Americans...the injuries, the deaths, the caskets, the innocent Iraqis and their children.....

if Americans could only see MORE of this bush* madness, the wars would be ended FAST......

blood oozing out of his eyes....likely blinded for life....I have a friend who got his eye blown off in Vietnam, along with a big chunk of his face...required a lot of surgery and never was the same, ever....died eventually from his Vietnam war wounds....left behind a young girl and his wife....SAD...real sad....we sometimes talk together about the bush* Iraq/Afganistan wars, because it reminds both of us about Vietnam.....sad, real sad...useless injuries/death....
