N.O.R.F Posted March 15, 2011 ^People make mistakes. We don't know what his intentions were but it is hoped he learnt lessons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Archdemos Posted March 15, 2011 An unjust occupation, an illegal occupation, many innocent lives lost. I only hope as a ‘Marine’ he did not kill any so called insurgents who were defending their country. In wars like this the line between right and wrong is clear cut. He was clearly on the wrong side. Clearly! I remember downloading and reading the so called famous dossier for the Iraq war, the morning it was realised. If i as a high school student could tell the case for war was weak and unconvincing then so should he. You always have a choice. Always. Nevertheless I’m not judging the brother but just thoroughly disappointed for him as it sounds like he so called brothers didn’t accept either. You live and you learn. The guilt he must be feeling is immense. In hindsight with our rose tinted spectacles it’s easy to judge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted March 15, 2011 It sounds like he has been discriminated against while in the Marines. That happens a lot. Good poem, overall. Very true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
