For me this video brings out more than just sadness or tears of joy. I find emotions of anger, frustration, and everything in between creeping in as well. Nobody deserves to be separated from their families for more than a month, especially when the cause is unjust. Fighting overseas...heck...fighting in general...needs to end.

Actually tears at my heart.........................we have got to stop this sh#t, as many kids live in quiet fear they may not see their Dad or Mom again, underneath it all. :(

[markoid]

I agree with both of your comments, it is a mixed bag of emotions for me also.

i agree...sending our kids to fight meaningless war and who do we really fight for? Human need to wake up stop fight among ourselves.

I think it is f***ing creepy, how they can carefully orchestrate the emotional factor and build it into the fabric of pavlovian conditioning to draw a positive loving feeling and attach it to a bunch of men who travel to far away lands and kill innocent men woman and children so that a corporation can set up a global drug distribution of opium or steal all their oil or mine all their minerals or lay a pipeline just so that they make huge profits for themselves and a tiny percentage of other super rich families at the expense of the everyone else. Honestly giving your life so that a corporation and a handful of already super rich families can become even richer...

even IF you actually believe the average American benefits (which I can assure you is the exact opposite, and the proof is that you would have to be so desperate to take a job like that in the first place!! (What? ...you mean I get to stick a gun in some one's face and blow their head off... AWESOME, where do I sign up!...) ...oh if I am lucky I might get my picture taken carrying the body of an innocent child with her leg blown off... (say cheese, and be the hero man!!!) or like some British soldiers quipped "this is the only place where I get to kill people "legally" ...

It just goes to show the level of sophistication involved ... the same corporations that knew how to arouse the world's resentment by accusing Saddam Hussein's soldiers of tearing babies out of hospital incubators can turn around and try to create a positive loving emotional connection between corporate profits and the destruction of living men woman and children in other countries. It's like training a circus animal, some of them look so happy as they are running through their routine, because they have developed these same associations between certain behaviours and certain dog treats...

It is so blatantly orchestrated and shallow. Let me get this straight if you kill people in your own country it's bad, but if you kill people in someone elses country, you get a dog treat. And you get to experience love and good feelings???? Using isolationism and separation and turning it into an emotional reward system... absolutely creepy when you think about how carefully trained all the family members have to be, they have to be exposed over and over to these images to understand their roles to maximize the experience of 'joy' and 'excitement'

... how much more perverse can it get... ?

What made me sniffle was the fact that these soldiers were sent overseas, torn from their families in the first place, under a false premise so that the a few old grey haired cronies that honestly believe that their lives are vastly more valuable then the soldiers' they send to fight their artificial wars for the purpose solely of talking away the rights of the people that actually fight their wars for them.

That in itself makes me cry a hundred times more tears then what this video represents.

You see joy and happiness in the reuniting, I see the travesty in why they were ripped from their loved ones in the first place. Let us not get caught up in our emotions that we can't see straight.

Edit:
Just read Sigma6's post -- my sentiments exactly.

Yes, I agree.

These soldiers are being duped to such a heavy degree where they believe the cause is just. Nobody will be more angry than these soldiers when they eventually find out that they have been used as pawns for a never-ending war put up by pedophilic, psychopathic, Luciferian bloodlines.

Unfortunately, most of these men that go off to war are made to believe that they have no other choice in their life. The flawed education system isolates them because they cannot keep up with others, so they are indoctrinated to believing that joining the military is a great opportunity to protect their country from "terrorists" so they can retain the freedom to watch television, and that they will have a bright and successful future because of it.

My heart seriously goes out to them. Johnny Cash understands...at 1:50 he addresses this exact issue...it's worth listening to the entire song though...

A student of mine's Dad went to Afghanistan. I held my breath a lot that school year.

There was this one time when she came in with her Dad's oversized tweed jacket on. She explained to us that sometimes she stands in her Daddy's closet so she can smell him. Not a peep from anyone. Only nods of "I get it."

Oh, please, please, let's bring them All home for good. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/earthhug.gif
