Hadji Girl

Video - Marine singing song about his "Hadji Girl" **Lyrics** We were out in the sands of Iraq And we were under attack Well I didn't know where to go First thing that I could see Was everybody's favorite Burger King So I threw open the door and I hit the floor Then suddenly to my surprise I looked up and I saw her eyes I knew it was love at first sight And she said "Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad" "Shurpa Shurpa Bach Allah" Hajji Girl I can't understand what you say And she said "Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad" "Shurpa Shurpa Bach Allah" Hajji Girl I love you anyway Then she said she wanted me to see She wanted me to come meet her family But I couldn't figure out how to say no CAUSE I DON'T SPEAK ARABIC SO..... She took me down an old dirt trail And pulled up to a side shanty Threw open the door and hit the floor Cause her brother and her father shouted "Durka durka Mohammed jihad" "Shurpa Shurpa Bach Allah" They pulled out their AK's so I could see And they said "Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad" "Shurpa Shurpa Bach Allah" So I grabbed her little sister and put her in front of me! As the bullets began to fly The blood sprayed from between her eyes And then I laughed maniacally Then I jumped behind the TV And I locked and loaded my M16 I blew those mother fuckers to eternity And I said "Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad" "Shurpa Shurpa Bach Allah" Should've known they were fuckin' with a Marine!

How the VA Abandons Our Vets

Sgt. Juan Jimenez had one of the most dangerous jobs in Iraq, ushering top Administration officials through the war-torn streets of Baghdad. He returned home with two Purple Hearts and shrapnel lodged in his right arm. Today he is gravely ill.

What Jimenez didn't realize is that before he could receive benefits for his wounds, he'd have to prove that those wounds came from war. Three and a half years later, the sergeant is still making his case. The Department of Veterans Affairs isn't convinced. And it won't give him his benefits until it is.

I had to close my eyes and listen for the Ignition Motor to fire to catch it just off the rail.

Are We Giving Them Our Best?

Good Morning, fellow veterans,

In my first article on this site (SENILITY OF COMMAND) I discussed the limitations on military success caused by the growth of incompetent leadership. Briefly put, during peace time the military promotes and accumulates cautious leaders who are afraid to take risks. Protecting their careers override anticipating and preparing for victory in combat.

Need help asap

I had my mother who is 78 years old to lease an apartment for me and my common law wife in her name because since I was hurt on the job back in 06/29/2006 and have not worked since because of high blood pressure, copd and breathing problems, and lower back problems which I am being treated for at the VA medical center in Houston,TX. Also been diagnosed with ptsd and being seen by phsychologist at the VA. But during the time I was injured and waiting on the insurance company to pay benefits which was disputed and I didn't get a dime until February of 2007.
