If You’re A Coward Who Doesn’t Want To Go To Iraq Because You Might Get Killed…

  •  December 27, 2006

…it’s probably best to avoid skirting your duty and then getting into a standoff/firefight with the cops when they come to arrest you.
I mean, talk about ironic. Though not tragic at all, as some are calling this. This could have been avoided if the guy had simply fulfilled the military service he obligated himself to. Or, at the very least, had just turned himself in to authorities when they came to collect him.
As it is he fired at the police several times, putting both them and other innocent bystanders in jail, and was killed as a consequence. That’s justice, not tragedy.

    How F’d up.

    This guy would rather die here than return to Iraq. Brings a lot to the saying a fate worse than death.

    Coward I do no think so………

    Re: Soldier killed by police

    Feel sorry for a soldier who did not get treatment for the post traumatic stress he was certainly suffering. Feel sorry for the policeman who had to shoot him. I am sure he will dream about it.
    Most of all FEEL SOMETHING for the soldiers & reservists who are facing an enemy situation more traumatic than Viet Name.
    I am a nurse and have worked in the VA system treating soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I myself have suffered from PTSD and know, only too well, what the ramifications are for this problem. Where is the real treatment for our returning people? No where. Give them a pill (the one he was prescribed will not help – actually make him worse); act like what they are going through can be overcome by just “getting themselves together”? PTSD is more than just a weak person being fearful. There are actual brain chemistry changes that occur. I fear for the reservist who come back to their “lives” with no medical support from the US. I lost a person who came back, suffering PTSD, but no one would see it or give him help. He just killed himself at 32 years old. Could not live with what he had seen.

    For the many Viet Nam vets out there who also have suffered from this viscous life altering affliction; put out your hand to the returning reservists….you can certainly relate. How many guys have I seen living in the woods alone, using drugs & alcohol to sleep or just not think, who are so overwhelmed by the pictures in their heads that they cannot continue their “lives” at all.

    Since the government will not help these people; we must.

    Hey, Mary, how much of the distress your patients had came from the abuse given them by the anti-war liberals as they were returning home?

    He joined an army. An ARMY. Look up the definition of the word. Just what did he think his duties would be?

    And because he didn’t want to fulfill the obligations of that duty he makes some cop shoot him. Now that guy has to live with the fact that he had to shoot that fool.

    He wasn’t drafted. He volunteered.

    In a time of war you can be shot for desertion.
    Its a law. Unforunate turn of events.
