We hear every day, over and over again, about all the bad things happening in Iraq. Well, I thought that I'd share this little story with you since you're definitely not going to hear about it on the nightly news.
A little explanation is in order, though. For those of you who don't know, it's important to realize that corpsmen (medics) in the Marine Corps are actually sailors. This goes back to the days when the Corps was not a seperate service. So, every Marine infantry group includes a certain number of Navy corpsmen. They often refer to these young men as "Doc", a term of respect towards a guy who might just hold their lives in his hands one day. And so, with that in mind:

(From www.navy.mil): "Secretary of the Navy, Gordon R. England presents the Navy Cross to Hospitalman Apprentice Luis E. Fonseca, Jr., for heroism during the battle of An Nasiriyah, Iraq, in March 2003. Under attack and without concern for his own safety, Hospitalman Apprentice Fonseca braved small arms, machine gun, and intense rocket-propelled grenade fire to evacuate wounded Marines from a burning amphibious assault vehicle. He stabilized two casualties with lower limb amputations with tourniquets and administered morphine, while organizing the evacuation of four wounded Marines, again exposing himself to enemy fire to treat wounded Marines along an offensive perimeter. His timely and effective care saved the lives of numerous casualties."
The Navy Cross is the highest award a sailor can receive after the Medal of Honor.

Posted by: casino games at December 7, 2004 10:28 AMA year later the war broke out and robbed the world of its beauties. It destroyed not only the beauty of the countrysides through which it passed and the works of art which it met in its path but also shattered our pride in the achievements of civilization, our admiration for many philosophers and artists and our hopes for a final triumph over the differences between nations and races. It tarnished the lofty impartiality of science, it revealed our instincts in all their nakedness and let loose the evil spirits within us which we thought had been tamed for ever by centuries of continuous education by the noblest minds. It made our country small again and made the rest of the world far remote. It robbed us of very much that we had loved, and showed us how ephemeral were many things that we regarded as changeless. by free online poker

Thus it is that no group ever sets itself up as the One without at once setting up the Other over against itself. If three travellers chance to occupy the same compartment, that is enough to make vaguely hostile 'others' out of all the rest of the passengers on the train. In small-town eyes all persons not belonging to the village are 'strangers' and suspect; to the native of a country all who inhabit other countries are 'foreigners'; Jews are 'different' for the anti-Semite, Negroes are 'inferior' for American racists, aborigines are 'natives' for colonists, proletarians are the 'lower class' for the privileged. by online poker
