For all those interested in some of the stories about these guys, and what they''re up to now that they''ve come home, I''d check out the Stop-Loss movie SoundOff page.

It''s really interesting. You can ask questions directly to the soldiers, etc. There''s a sniper who was in Mosul. What do you think?

Torture, rape, maiming, murder, mayhem, and misery, and humiliation. This is what "our troops" have brought to the people of Iraq. It is little wonder they are fighting back. - Feelfree1

You insinuate that US troops are raping and murdering millions of Iraqis. Where do you come up with such fiction? If it isn''t fiction, where do you get your "facts"?

Once, it was Fallujah.

Now, it is Mosul.

There are many other towns in Iraq.

Which one''s next?

ALL OF THEM, ONE BY ONE, until all foreign invaders and occupiers go, or are decimated. If not, let''s wait and see who lasts the longest.

The Viet Nam War Wimp wanted regime change. That is surely coming. Himself, in January 2009.

is a man who pulles another man from a burning truck a hero in your eyes?

And I''ve seen footage of innocent Iraqi civilians killed by American troops.

Regardless of who fires the bullet, the result is the same.

tslarri,

Most of the guys that I knew when I was in the Army, were petty nice guys.

I hope that your husband makes it home safely from Iraq, and soon.

I did what I could to prevent him from going there in the first place.

Good night, and good luck.

I dont know your age, but common sence would answer that question for you. And, if you are so up on why so many soldiers are doing harm to themselves maybe you should walk a mile in there boots. If you are living in a world where good and evil never meet than you truly are in a world of you own. The same "people" that kill our service men and women would not think twice about killing you or your children. I world in Iraq is not what you see on tv. It is the children living in dirt huts, ridding on donkeys and waving and chasing the military soldiers down on the streets for a piece of candy. It is the Iraqi man who lookes at my husband with out a word and says thank you for giving him a box of poptarts. Iraq is the beautiful people who want a second chance at making a good life for there family. It is the people who walk down the streets to celebrate a holiday, knowing full well that they maynot make it home. We here in the us see only the bad. the loss, my husband stood sided by side with the leader of the iraqi troops. The man told him that he lives his life knowing that oneday he will be murdered, but not by americans! by his own people.

"It''s not individual atrocity," Specialist Garett Reppenhagen, a sniper from the 263rd Armour Battalion, said. "It''s the fact that the entire war is an atrocity."

tslarri,

Some one million excess violent deaths so far, and counting, as a result of the lie-based and disgraceful war of aggression against Iraq. I suspect that this is why our military is suffering such a high suicide rate today. Some of our soldiers just can''t cope with what they have done over there.

Torture, rape, maiming, murder, mayhem, and misery, and humiliation. This is what "our troops" have brought to the people of Iraq. It is little wonder they are fighting back.

The Iraqis certainly have the right to defend themselves.

You failed to answer my question, though.

Was your husband drafted or otherwise involuntarily extended since the beginning of the invasion(s), or did he volunteer?
