Perspective

This was just ONE of our fathers' hard-earned victories over humans convinced that God had chosen THEM to subjugate all Asia, on the way to subjugating the rest of humankind.

Just because Iraq is following generally the same story arc doesn't mean it will be easier this time, as there are new enemies helping the 'Holy Warriors of Jihad' in their bloody, misogynistic, elitist and deadly efforts THIS time.

I Wanna Go Home: Background

If for some reason the embedded video is not available you can still find it at You Tube.

This is a video done by my friend Karridine. It brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. Hope you like it.

Here is a little about him and why he did the video.

Karridine enlisted at age 17 to follow his father's example and serve in Korea. After a year's study at the DLI in Monterey, CA, learning Korean language, Karridine served in the Army Security Agency, working atop a mountain on an island on the Korean DMZ. When the USS Pueblo was captured, Karridine was one of three people handpicked by NSA to fly back to Korea and guide the follow-up there. He got his Honorable Discharge after 4 years service in late1968.

Karridine wrote "Wanna Go Home" as his supportive contribution during the Battle of Baghdad, long after he was refused further service. Knowing how lonely it can get on the front lines, or just far from home, Karridine wove this story of the normal American GI's desire to go home, AFTER completing the mission, AFTER making a positive difference in the field.

I Wanna Go Home, having done a good job

Yet the light's in their eyes-

Lyrics: I Wanna Go Home! (GI's Lament, 2007)

I Wanna Go Home, having done a good job
Lifting up downtrodden, though the work is rotten
Yet the light's in their eyes-

I Wanna Go Home, tell the whole nation that I did what's right
Shared my best, little pay, little rest
Shining out Liberty's light.

America has enemies, without and within,
Who want us all to feel shame,
For having the courage to do what's right,
They want to kill us in God's name!
I won't go home, 'til I've done a good job, look my son in the eye
Hold my daughter 'til they know my heart is true.

Wanna see my wife, hold her in my arms
Bury my face in her soft shoulder, hold her while I cry
For I've seen our enemies hide without honor or shame
Behind women and children, then kill them in God's name!

I've seen my brothers-in-arms holding back their ire
Until civilians were out of the line of fire!

I'm coming home to my City of Light,
Standing tall, on The Mountain, history recountin'
I've done my duty right!

I'm coming home!
