  • A touching and refreshingly human account until this:

    car coming to take the martyrs

    Martyrs. No. They're just dead. They died for nothing.

  • BMX_Fred's letter is hardly from a friend of his mother but one of a slury of agit chain letters making the rounds.. I've found a few hundred posts of that letter-- sometimes with slight variations-- all claiming to be sent to someone's mother but all different names...

    But in all honesty.. Similar letters could be posted today by IS(IS/IL) fighters been bombed by Americans. Similar letters were posted by Germans in WW-II. In the air raids on Germany by British and American bombers during that war its estimated that between 300,000 and 570,000 German civilians were killed.
    Wars are never pleasant slights and its nearly always the innocent that are victimized.
