Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
He had a textbook sucking chest wound, which will result in a hemothorox and death unless sealed. This could have been accomplished with a human hand. First aide was thumb-up-your-add variety.  |

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
MEMORIAL DAY 2015 MAY 26, 2015 GLUDMCCOOL 1 COMMENT It’s the close of another Memorial Day. As I sit here to write before turning in, I am thankful to have spent the day with family. Memorial Day means more to me than it use to. Three years ago we lost my brother who served in the Infantry Division of the Army. I hope that I have honored his memory today. He was my hero. He reenlisted in October 2002. It was 9/11 that caused him to go back. He was just a few miles behind the first wave that rushed to Bagdad. I have seen the pictures of him sleeping in the streets and the cramped sitting in the back of the Bradley vehicle. He was a warrior. He was a squad leader that went house to house looking for “bad guys”. I remember the day my parents came to where I worked and told me Nathan had been shot. We would find out that he was hit by a sniper. He would spend four months at Walter Reed Medical Center. Because he wasn’t married, the Army would fly my family to see him once a month. My parents went to Walter Reed and stayed by his side for the duration of his stay. I was able to fly in every other weekend to be there with them. Nathan never completely recovered. He was plagued with back pain and there was fragments from the bullet that they never took out, one because it was close to his heart and they decided that it was better to not disturb it. Nate decided when he was discharged, to move to Clarksville Tennessee, where he would have been stationed at Fort Campbell. If you knew my brother, you know that he could be ‘matter of fact’ to say the least. He was a giving person. He never complained about money and to be honest I thought he was better off than he really was. He died suddenly in 2012, almost six years after being shot. I have read the autopsy report and Nate never knew what hit him. He died of an acute cerebral hemorrhagic infarction. From what I’ve been told, it’s basically an aneurysm that burst in his head. I hate to admit that we were not as close as we could have been. We honestly were from two different worlds. He had the Army and I am a Pastor. I miss getting to call him on days like today and on Veterans Day to tell him how much I appreciate his service. This is therapeutic for me tonight, so thanks for reading. If you know a service person, thank them for their service. They won’t want to here it. They will tell you, as my brother would say, “I’m not a hero, I’m just doing my job.” I won’t get on my soap box about how we need to take better care of our veterans, but if you see one in need, help them out. What they have endured is more than I ever want to. They deserve more than what they receive from their retirement. Thank You Sgt. Nathan Joel McCool for your service. I love you and miss you terribly tonight! |

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
Why shouldn't this be posted here? This site is "documenting reality", not "Pentagon propaganda". If you want to go about like an ostrich hiding your head head, then do it.. but all this dumb rah rah US soldiers are special is just bullshit. More videos like this ought to be publizied so that dumbass americans can see what the fuck the treasonous US Government is putting soldiers through for no good reason... serving a globalist agenda. We have enough bullshit censorship from the MSM, you want to bring that here too?

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
How do you know the shooter wasn't awfully brave? Or are yank snipers all cowards too?
