Simply read: Homeless On The Homefront

*sobs*

Let me say this once: DO NOT KICK RETURNING SOLDIERS, WHETHER YOU AGREED WITH THE WAR THEY FOUGHT IN OR NOT. HONOR THEM ALWAYS, AND HELP THEM!!!

The link didnt work. But my brother went over to iraq twice. i know what its like to lve someone over there.

Link fixed. Everybody please read the story.

See, things like that piss me off. They're over in wars away from home and risk their lives, and then they come back and now they're in situations like this...

Don't push your beliefs onto other people, some people will always discriminate just like you it is quite hypocritical for you to tell people to treat them with respect when you don't treat gays with respect.

This song was written with the Vietnam War veteran in mind, but the things it talks about still apply:

Still In Saigon
By: Charlie Daniels

Got on a plane in 'Frisco
And got off in Vietnam
I walked into a different world
The past forever gone

I could have gone to Canada
Or I could have stayed in school
But I was brought up differently
I couldn't break the rules

Thirteen months and fifteen days
The last ones were the worst
One minute I'd kneel down and pray
And the next I'd stand and curse

No place to run to
Where I did not feel that war
When I got home I stayed alone
And checked behind each door

Cuz I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind

The ground at home was covered in snow
And I was covered in sweat
My younger brother calls me a killer
And my daddy calls me a vet

Everybody says I'm someone else
And I'm sick and there's no cure
Damned if I know who I am
There was only one place I was sure

When i was still in Saigon
Still in saigon
I am still in saigon
In my mind

Every summer when it rains
I smell the jungle, I hear the planes
I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed
Afraid some day I'll go insane

That's been ten long years ago
And time has gone on by
Now and then I catch myself
Eyes searching through the sky

All the sounds of long ago
Will be forever in my head
Mingled with the wounded cries
And the silence of the dead

'Cuz I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind

I am still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
Yes, I'm still in Saigon
In my mind

The mental post-trauma of war is what these guys are dealing with and WE AS A COUNTRY need to do a better job of rehabilitating them back into civilian life.

This is awful.

-_-;; Wow, you just have to keep bringing that up, don't you? Patriot is stating his opinion, and he can say what he wants to.

Anyways, yeah...the song fits great...

And so is she, so stop being a moron and let her state her opinion.

To each, their own, comrade.

Blame the US government...

yeah, well we've all heard her a million times rant about how Patriot doesn't like people who have choosen to live their life-style of being gay, and I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get tired of it, along with serveral other members.

That's cold hearted. 'Nuff said.

Exucse you little brat there is no need for you to go talking **** behind my back if you had issues with me you should have pmed so I could at leastdefend myself. And don't talk about homosexuals like you understand them being homosexual is NOT something anyone chooses. You can choose to come out of the closet and live an openly gay lifestyle but no one sits and think hey I wanna be gay I am gonna be attracted to other men now, they just are so stfu. Plus if you and these supposed "other members" are getting tired of me they are all free to leave IJ.

Blaming the government doesn't solve everything. You have to blame the people to. Do you really think that if the government made some new laws against such things that will make the people honor them? The government has many laws against abandoning soliders when they come back from the war but do you think that makes everyone listen? No.
Yes our government has some pretty screwed up stuff but everyones elses do to! NO government is perfect, NONE.
Other countrys hate the U.S government.
And the U.S disagrees with others government. You can't make the whole world happy!
You don't even live in the U.S so please don't judge it until you live it. I can't stand how everyone blames everything on the GOVERNMENT but not ever some of the PEOPLE that live there. Yea sorry just felt like saying that.
