3. And THAT is the ONLY BOX I want to see soldiers in.
It's almost unbearably sad to think of the other soldiers returning home in a box.

I'm so happy for this fortunate family!

5. I reposted this to my facebook page with the following comment:
After watching this, I looked at some of the related videos on youtube, and especially with teenagers, it made me think about what came before the joy: kids wondering if their dad will ever come home alive.

That's a good reason to be less cavalier in the use of our military and save it for when our security is actually at stake not w...hen oil & gas companies want access to oil reserves or pipeline routes or banana plantation owners get bent about land reform, their workers unionizing, or a democratically elected government raising minimum wage.

7. Agreed, Yurbud
War is hell and the use of war by our country should only be used as a complete last resort in extremely dire circumstances.

Going to war to protect commercial interests is OBSCENE and MEDIEVAL. Of course, we would all know that a little better if we actually held leaders to account for going to war based on bullshit. America; our best and brightest continue to get injured or dead to support bullshit. We have Goerings and Goebbels amongst us walking free and selling books, instead of being held to account for their crimes and treasons.

12. If Wikileaks is for real it could start a trend that could make it a lot harder for leaders to lie
us into war.
