    My girlfriends dad was actually an interpreter who got killed in Iraq when she was like a week out from graduating high school. From everything I've heard he was legit trying to keep the peace. Her memorial tattoo for him is "hero" in Arabic from a letter from a local child he kept with him.

    His body was desecrated and hung up around Baghdad.

    It's very telling that not a single person said anything to her on memorial day but a chud friend of my dad went into a rant about "if you'd ever been handed a folded flag you wouldn't ever disrespect a flying one" within ear shot of her.

    She does not think very highly of America or its foreign policies believe it or not.

      Memorial day should be for people like him and all the victims of American imperialism... Rest in peace. And heroes like Aaron Bushnell. God chuds are beyond insufferable they're just comical atp
