Good points made within this video. One thing that EVERYBODY needs to think about....

Maybe Iraq is teaching the world a lesson in patience and humility. Being humbled is not such a bad thing. These people have suffered more than most folks can endure and each day to them is just like any other, they know in the end it will all turn out better than they could have imagined. What happens on a daily basis to them is just another day, in some of the most enduring conditions imaginable. What we're going through here in the US is nothing compared to what these wonderful people have suffered on a daily basis for decades. I'll give a brief example:

When I hear the whining and see the BS that some folks put out there on these forums at times it really crawls under my skin. Let me give you one example. This may be a bit graphic but it's the reality of Iraq. One base that I worked on allowed a family to be brought in for medical care, we were on the outskirts of Baghdad in a city called Mahmudiyah. Escorted in by the military, a family of Iraqi's, Mother, Father, Uncle and four sons in a small pick up truck drove in to the medical facility, two up front and the rest of the family in the back of the truck. The youngest of the boys was probably about 8 or 9 yrs old. The rest in their late teens. Each of the boys had fatal wounds. The tailgate to the truck was open as the Uncle was basically keeping the boys inside the bed of the truck, he himself was impacted with multiple small shrapnel wounds that were non fatal, the bed of the truck was basically soaked with the boys fluids draining out the back of the truck. All of the boys had large portions of their frames that were not intact or barely being held together. We carried them out as quickly as possible and laid them on the ER tables and proceeded to care for them, unfortunately to no avail. 3 were deceased before their arrival, and the last perished on the table. The uncle was treated as the mother voiced her concerns in a manner that would have woke a large city. The father was in complete shock and just stared outward in dismay.

This whole incident was caused by an IED of a 155mm round placed in a street. They just happened to be standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Totally innocent people.

Again, this happens daily there, and not necessarily by Iraqi's there are other forces which I will not go into who have been trying daily to disrupt this country and destabilize it. For those of you who have lost your homes, jobs cars, hey I'm in the same boat too, but I remember things like this and I have to go on with my life to make things happen, it took me four months to land a job, I count myself as lucky.

Count yourself as fortunate and wealthy in spirit, faith, family and frame of mind that you do not have to endure what these people have. The violence there is no where near what it used to be. Although Chicago has probably more violence in a month than Iraq has had in the last year, it's no where near as destructive or creates an impact in the lives of those as it does in Iraq. Say a prayer for these people and admire them, until you've walked in their shoes you have no clue what suffering is. Personally I don't think you deserve the right to complain or feel entitlement to this information we share with you, whether good or bad we share it. Just sayin....

So again for those folks who bicker, whine, complain and ridicule.......picture the above story and think twice and speak once.

Thanks to the two gentlemen who did the video, it said a lot without saying much.

Once again, I say this very profound blessing is not about us, it is about those that have died, and those who are losing their life daily. Maybe we will see and enjoy our new found wealth, but remember those that are making all of this possible.

Anybody that films a video on their leather couch sitting that close together with a sign in the background that says "Determination" is someone you should not ignore.

The guy on the left is Okie and the one on the right is Athena

I think a lot of these guys get put down because they make overly emotional statements and quote "sources" without being able to put forth anything that can be verified by independentor credible sources. That and the wild-a** claims they've made have fallen through so many times as to make them less than credible.

I'm a doctor -- I assess, rationalize and base my findings on verifiable or testable facts and findings. When my patients come in with wild symptomology and complaints that cannot be recreated, tested or verified I start looking less at physical manifestations and start looking for voices in their heads. I've seen some wild rumors here from those folks...

'nuff sed.
