Mr. Woodruff...I'm so sick and tired of hearing about him
Something has been bothering me since I have been hearing on all the media outlets about Mr. Woodruff being hurt by an IED. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad he was hurt. But, what about all the military men and women being hurt while they are "Over There?" Do we here shit about it? Nope....Nada.....Nothing.......What about the military men and women who have lost there lives fighting for us? All we hear is a f*ckin' number, nothing about who they were as a person. I found this link via A Soldier & his Wife. I decided to post my feelings on this as well. This is something up close and personal to me. Sniper was a very lucky man in his last deployment. I still don't know all the logistics (he doesn't talk much about it), but from what I understand is this: There Humvee rolled over 8 times. I believe they hit something (again, it is not something he talks about). What I do know is one Marine lost his life, one Marine lost his leg and Sniper, the Corpsman cut his tag out of his boot (I saw this same f*cking boot with the laces covered in his blood, alot of blood and a knot tied in where he cut those f*cking laces, and yes I would love to knock the shit out of that Corpsman, when we were packing his gear for his re-deployment). He was bleeding out of his ear. Wingman was the one that helped save his life. They medivac'd him out of there. He ended up with Shrapnel in his head and ear (to this day the shit is still coming out of his ear). He is very lucky to be alive today. I thank God everyday. Did anyone her much ado about any of this when it happened? Nope.....nada....nothing....zilch.... Do you know what he did? He found a way back to his men three days later. However, they wouldn't let him out on missions. And two weeks later, they finally sent him home to recover. You all know where that Marine, Sniper, MY MARINE is today....BACK IN THE SANDBOX for another round. You will never hear shit about this on the nightly news. You will only hear about our men and the real things that go on from blogs like this..... Can you tell this is something that just pisses me off to no end? I am pray every night for a safe return for him and his Marines. Semper Fi! dyzgoneby |
