Many on Quest for truth about deaths

MANY ON QUEST FOR TRUTH ABOUT DEATHS
Asking the military for answers


Pfc. Jesse Buryj died 13 days after Cpl. Pat Tillman. Just as Buryj’s enlistment in the Army attracted none of the fanfare of the former pro football player’s, his funeral was a quiet family service, a world apart from the nationally televised memorial for Tillman....

Seven months elapsed between when she received the death certificate and when she got an autopsy report. Two months later, in April 2005, the family sat down with Army officials for a briefing. The family was told Jesse Buryj was on a joint mission with the Polish army when he died. Officials didn’t know the source of the bullet that killed their son.

“I told them, ‘Hey, if you don’t want to deal with mourning families, then recruit orphans,’” Peggy Buryj said. Jesse Buryj “was on loan to the U.S. Army. He had a life here and a family that loves him.”....

Several months later, in January 2006, the Defense Department inspector general opened a new investigation into Jesse Buryj’s death. His mother said she was told investigators have collected the U.S. weapons involved in the incident for ballistics comparisons. “This is just crap,” she said. “I understand the fog of war, I understand friendly fire. I don’t understand why they make families wait and wait. I just think it’s totally wrong. We lost our son. All I ever want to know is what happened to him. Even if they said, ‘We can’t figure out what happened,’ I can understand that. I don’t understand being strung along.”

1. Another recruit for Cindy's Army. If the Army lies to you, there is
a reason for the lies. If the Army "strings you along", there is a reason for the stringing. When an organization as big and complex as the US Military is involved in perpetrating one of the largest, bloodiest, and most destructive crimes in human history, it is difficult to perform in an efficient, timely matter.

When you tell the truth, you have to consider no other issues - just tell the truth.

When you are lying and covering up massive crimes against humanity, you have to think of and consider far too many things. Every variation of the lie must be looked at for "shitablitiy"; can there be some tenuous scrape of logic applied in order to maintain a straight face. Every rational objection to the lie must first be reviewed and scripted - this all takes time and energy.

Jesus, these Gold Star Mothers just do not appreciate the hard work and trouble the US Military has gone through just to keep this lie going! They should show some understanding! I mean, it's not like the military actually gives two shits about these (non-famous) grunts! Come on!

2. I find telling the truth to be quite handy, really
.
.
.

cuz ya don't have to remember who you told WHAT!

cuz it's consistent.

The US's involvement with Iraq is anything but consistent,

From selling them weapons,

The infamous Rummy handshake,

the "we gotta invade because they have WMDs"

We invaded to spread freedom and democracy,

We invaded to protect America from terrorism,

We have to stay as occupiers to stabilize the country,

and so on . . . .

yadda, yadda, yadda . . . .
