How Much We Owe Our Kids
Thursday, November 18th, 2010In Nov, 13, 2010, a newest guided missile destroyer commissioned at Port Everglades Florida. The ship named Jason Dunham, to memory a 22 year old marines who dedicated his young life in Iraq war. Dunham threw his Kevlar helmet and his body on a live grenade in April, 2004. He sustained massive injuries and protected two marines next him. He died eight days late. Such an excellent, unselfish person was put in to death by us in the war.
This is only one of the stories in Iraq and there are more than 4,000 stories related to the death of our children. Our children were told that they were fight for defending their home land. Ten years after today we are still being threatened not by body bombs but by parcel bombs. Politicians said that for supporting our brave soldiers we should recognize the war. Why should we recognize the war but not avoid the war? Do we have no choice but sent our innocent passionate children to dead? Before when I thought of our soldiers were died or wounded in the war I felt unfair that they had to risk their lives to make a living in the troop because they were from poor classes. Recently I realized that thousands of them willing to scarify their lives to defend our home land. In the war they felt they were fooled and came home with broken hearts. A Chinese book “An American marines who fell in love with a ShangHai girl” reported to us those young kids feeling. It makes me feel that we owe them more than we thought.
The girl’s boy friend was named Steven Duncan, a 21 years old kid who had already spent two Charismas in Iraq. When the girl accepted the marine’s love she cried. She told him that if you promised me to come back I would wait. Internet was the only way to connect them. She always waited in front of the computer till he was off duty. When he told her how much he loved her she could say nothing but tearing. That was the only way she expressed her feels.
She said Steven was a brave big boy who didn’t mind to run in the front when fighting. He once was so passionate — hoped to catch Ben Laten and make a revenge for people who died in 9.11. However, he could be scared when he saw a little Iraq girl carried a bomb rush to him. There were always bombs exploded on the road they were. It looked like they had nothing to do but waiting there to be killed by unknown bombs. In those days they were so upset and almost forgot how to laugh. He told her that he had prepared an email and told his friend to email that to her incase he died. He once stopped chatting with her in the internet. When he came back he indicated her to read a piece of news saying that two American soldiers were died in Iraq. He just went to bring their bodies back. Two days ago they had a chatting with him.
The Shang Hai girl once teased a 19 years old soldier named Neil, telling him that he just looked like a kid who should stay home. Neil said when a kid scarified his life in the front he would be considered a real man by his country and his people. We should feel proud of these kids and we send them to die. Those innocent and lovely kids supported and cared about each other. Neil had a tattoo to memory a 19 years old marine Landon who died in Feb, 26, 2005. He never meet him but only saw his baby picture. He left a note to Landon said that: “I am very sorry, I wish there was something I could have done. I am sorry.” Landon was a happy boy who once had a trip in China. I talked to my son who was 19 years old. He said: “I didn’t want to die yet because there are many things I wish to do and not being done.” That should be the feeling of all the 19 years old kids have. When I think of that they went died at that kind of age my heart was tearing.
I don’t believe there was no other ways to avoid the lost. For the benefit of warmongers our politicians just didn’t want to do anything. They praised those young kids’ brave and sent them to die the next minute. Our kids are so unselfish and have so much passion to this country. We make their lives worth nothing. They are warriors and we treated them like pawns in a game. We fool them and made them lost their lives for nothing. Chinese say the cruelest things you do is to make a heart die. We made our passionate kids had their heart broken and we don’t care. How much more we might owe our kids? We don’t have products but consume like craze. We used up their resource and left them for debt. We occupy all the good job positions and watch our kids have big student loan and have no jobs. To those who have jobs we collect tax from them to make them pay for our high salaries and pay for our pension life-long.
I don’t know what I can say. I just hope our kids not to be frustrate and don’t give up. Since you were hurt in the war you should do whatever to stop wars and in the process your broken hearts will be healed. You don’t have jobs and you don’t look for jobs but look for low cost entertainment. You do have high income and you can just don’t make consumption like they tell you. You mind your shelter and food let them worry for the high GDP. When they die you can sell out the land in this country to pay off their debt. You can only support yourselves and not raise children. That is a way to make revenge, for the souls of those people who created the messes today will have no chance to reincarnate. If they want to be mankind they have to reincarnate in the Middle East and live in Africa.
