Soldier has bullet lodged in his brain

[Solara23]

I saw this bulletin and did a little research.. I found his myspace. Hopefully he pulls through and doesn't end up in the "latest articles" section....

I am forwarding this from my friend Bill from grade school regarding one of our friends who we went to school with.

~Hey all, please pray for my friend from grammar school/co-worker at the golf course that went to Iraq. He was recently shot in the eye and apparently the bullet lodged in his brain. He had emergency surgery in Iraq, and miraculously; he is alive, but obviously lost his eye. They are flying him home, but please pray for recovery. He needs us now more than ever.

Thanks alot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please keep Jesse in your prayers because his recovery is going to be a long and hard journey. Thanks again.

Nice tag

No sympathy from me on this one. Thoughts and prayers?

Since I vote democrat and some people would like to have you think that I am a wigger, I am with Ron on this one.

I think the term is occasionally appropriate, but when people throw it around, it's a big red flag for me.
You wonder what type of person would use it so openly..yanno.
Like, there are some types that SO embrace everything negative about 'black culture'
The Malibu's Most Wanted types..... Make me sick.

Just being who you are is one thing.... so what? Liking a certain type of music, no big deal....
but acting 'ghetto' when you're not is 'uphauling'

Couldn't of said it better, there is a lot of the Malibu Most Wanted ones out there, but me, it's just Tom being Tom, nothing more, nothing less.  I grew up in what most people would call the "ghetto".  I just hate when most people try to make me out as trying to be black, no, I am not trying to be black, I am tryin to be me.

Times like this I remember we have a volunteer army....and remember the types that support the war.
It's mostly them and their kids/kind over there....not me and my ilk.

Whilst I commend them for doing their job, you are right, it's not me or my ilk either.  I am just sitting here waiting for backlash, cause ya know, it's coming.

It's not that I don't think what they do is great.
It's just the way that as soon as someone gets sworn in, they become a hero that annoys me. 

It's the same way that some people won't speak ill of the dead.
Assholes die too.
Some solders are douches.
It's just a matter of numbers and probability. It's almost impossible for there not to be any prick troops!
Yea, soon someone should be ready to holler at us!

Yeah, wearing a uniform, does not extract the asshattedness from your brain.

I concur. Ron knows (from a previous thread) that I was in the USMC for 6 years. And THERE are TONS of assholes, douche bags, and racist in the military. Not everyone that wore the fucking uniform was a hero....well except for me.  :lol:

I'm so glad that Drank saw this!
He's rational, intelligent, and a good drunk (from what I have heard)
So he can tell the difference between an attack on the people that serve in our armed forces, and talking about someone that comes off as a douche.

Being a former Marine he just comes off as full of shit to me.  Sorry.  I'll wait for the evidence.

I'm not getting in any debate.
I feel bad for this guy, I hope everything turns out ok. I can't imagine taking a bullet in the eye, and into the brain.
