Justin Rollins became a soldier in 2006. He was deployed to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne. He was killed in spring 2007. But he emailed photographs of him playing with a puppy to his girlfriend the night before his death. Justin’s family decided they wanted to have that puppy that Justin held. The dog was found and sent to The Rollins. It traveled from Iraq, Bahrain, Brussels and New York before landing in New Hampshire. The little pet is named Hero in memory of the dead soldier.

Fuck all the brainwashed soldiers and their leaders who send them to die, just so a few people can become more powerful and have a couple of billion dollars more.. fuck everyone who defends war and killing.. and fuck the dog while you're at it..
Peace to all who wish to live in peace, fuck the rest of you..
With regards, best wishes and all that shit, a guy from a country that used to be Yugoslavia..
the US Forces are killing innocent people all over the world, who cares about some of this killers if they get back what they started?
I understand the points that you, Mr Ree and others are making. I don't feel you are necesarly wrong in feeling that way. My point is that what "WE" need to do, as a global world, is address and change the root problem. The soldier is not the problem, the people to form American foreign policy are. To wish a person dead and to take a round in the head is wrong. Words are cheap, action has a price. You may not agree with american policy, but at least the soldiers "DID" something. That's more than what can be said for most of the world population.
Most Americans suffer from the 'John Wayne' syndrome. They believe their own bullshit. John Wayne was a gutless coward, not a hero.
Specialized US troops are trained in Canada by Canadians.
From day one, Canadians fought fiercely & bravely in WW1 & WW2. It makes me sick at heart to think of all those young lives lost and for what? Selfish, greedy, self-absorbed dimwits. If it weren't for Canadian, British and Australian soldiers, and so many European freedom fighters and the 2 million + East Indians and Ghurkhas who fought valiantly by our side, most of us wouldn't be here.
During WW2, Americans came in with their brooms after Pearl Harbour was bombed, not before.
America has never won a war. Unless you want to include bombing the crap out of Japan.
I don't agree with troups being sent to defend oil either, but this young man gave his life in the line of duty. Show a little respect.
