Choggie, I get that you disagree with my overall theme to, well, everything I post, both vids and comments, but is that really a valid reason to now downvote all of it?

You don't seem to have any positive input to make, you just call everything anyone suggests stupid and mindless, and never put forward any sort of suggestion about what people should be doing.

It's obvious you've lost hope that anything can be changed, but I have hope still about fixing things. Disagree with my methods on the actual merits all you like, but don't just spout "it's hopless, you idiots" and downvote everything. That's just petty and childish, especially if this is some sort of retaliation for what I said about your shameful comments about Ted Kennedy.

Downvote if I post something uninteresting, don't downvote because you disagree with the message.

Memories of Iraq haunted soldier until suicide

WASHINGTON — Until the day he died, Sgt. Brian Rand believed he was being haunted by the ghost of the Iraqi man he killed.

The ghost choked Rand while he slept in his bunk, forcing him to wake up gasping for air and clawing at his throat.

He whispered that Rand was a vampire and looked on as the soldier stabbed another member of Fort Campbell's 96th Aviation Support Battalion in the neck with a fork in the mess hall.

Eventually, the ghost told Rand he needed to kill himself.

According to family members and police reports, on Feb. 20, 2007, just a few months after being discharged from his second tour of duty in Iraq, Rand smoked half of a cigarette as he wrote a suicide note, grabbed a gun and went to the Cumberland River Center Pavilion in Clarksville, Tenn. As the predawn dark pressed in, he breathed in the wintry air and stared out at the park where he and his wife, Dena, had married.

Then he placed the gun to his head and silenced his inner ghosts.

"My brother was afraid to ask for help," said April Somdahl. "And when he finally did ask for help the military let him down."

Since the start of the Iraq war, Fort Campbell, a sprawling installation on the Kentucky-Tennessee border, has seen a spike in the number of suicides and soldiers suffering from severe post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
--
At his family's behest, he finally sought counseling at a hospital near Fort Campbell. He later told his sister the waiting room was full of soldiers who went in for 10-minute visits with a psychiatrist and came out with prescriptions for pills.

The psychiatrist spent nearly two hours with him and wrote an evaluation that suggested he not return to battle, Somdahl said. But that paperwork never made it to his commanding officer. That Sunday, Rand was told his unit was deploying back to Iraq.

Choggie, I understand that you think that this is about the pointlessness of the '08 elections, but it's not. This post couldn't be more objective if it was posted as I see it now. And it's Memorial Day, for gods sake.

I just saw the ol' soldiers in the parade. Good men all of 'em. But this isn't your Granddaddy's war. This isn't Hitler. This is something else altogether.

Still, soldiers are dead all the same, regardless of those soldier's politics.
