Former president George W. Bush gave up golf during the Iraq conflict. George W. Bush lied to the soldiers he commanded. American soldiers killed thousands of women and children. Thousands more soldiers have çommitted suicide than were killed in battles in Iraq or Afghanistan. Today's commander in chief is senile and spent a month celebrating sexual perversity. Viet Nam - Gulf of Tonkin incident LIE. 9-11-01 No official investigation has proved if thousands of innocent people were murdered by controlled demolition, or not murdered by controlled demolition. Afghanistan invaded before learning truth of 9-11-01. Iraq, flat out lie. LIE, LIE, LIE ... it catches up ... Now people don't know if they are a man or a woman ...

Same happened me but the other way around, I got stabbed three times in the chest in Melbourne Australia 2009 in a random attack the three stab wounds all life threathening but one hit my lung and punctured it and so I was in a coma for 2 half weeks , can’t remember the stabbing to this day, okay so I’m from Ireland , so I woke up (they don’t know how I survived, died 3 times , full blood transfusion , half my lung removed) and I didn’t know what was going, was so confused , but my family Wer at my bedside , I kept asking what happened and how I got home to Ireland. In reality I was 2 miles away In the Alfred hospital I would not accept this was adamant I was home in Ireland cuz my family wer there . Was a surreal and confusing situation but my family had flown out while I was in a coma to be by my bedside and waking up from 3 and a half weeks what felt like an hour sleep I was adamant I was in my hometown so I can relate to what this bloke is saying, glad you made it through , and face the future with fortitude .. awesome love it now 2023 and I got back to full health and have 2 kids just wasn’t my time to go 💪🏾😀

Im a retired VET from Somalia, Hairi and Iraq. As a JAG attorney you really do not deploy so my first 6 years I was an enlisted MP then I went OCS to finish 18 years as a JAG lawyer. I help investigate the crimes committed at the Abu Ghraib prison. On my way to the prison our Blackhawk crashed landed which caused my back to compress blowing out my S1, L5,4&3 vertebrates. Now 18 years later and 7 back surgeries i am no longer complaining my back hurts after watch the inspiration this soldier just gave me by watching this video.

Well said. As an aside, I once asked a Marine about the term POG. He said it meant "Person other than Grunt" as in the guys in the rear with the gear. He then paused and said that in actuality, though these people may not see any action they are still depended on for other things that make the combat Marine's life a bit easier. Irrespective of whether you are a member of JAG or SEAL Team 6, you play a role in the military that is nonetheless important. Frankly, I think the US should REQUIRE EVERY citizen of this country to serve at least 2 years in the military. Israel does this and it seems to have paid dividends for the country. Sorry to hear about your accident, but your service is still very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hospital and done with with Walter Reed and charities and it never ceases to amaze me at how these heroes, will often, after hitting a low point, make their lives even better, push themselves further and continue to help others. I admire all of our service men and women and will always have a special place in my heart for them. Thank you all for your service!
