I dont know how or why but the picture uploaded came out incorrect. If you click on it, it shows the correct picture though?

Here is another try for a picture of Army Sgt. Kyle A. Colnot.

I used to feel some sympathy for the misguided Goyim killing and sometimes dying in Iraq for aparthied Israel. But then I spent some time in the Yahoo chat room for the military, of which there are many. You know what I discovered? I found that many over there in the service, Marines especially, actually enjoy what they do and look forward to the possibility of killing. After they are able to, they post about it with great glee and happiness.

So you won't find any more sympathy from me for those murdering bastards. When you go to another man's country to kill their poor people rather than spending your resources to help your own, you deserve exactly what happens to you. I route for the good guys, I route for the Resistance.

Soldier from San Dimas killed in Iraq roadside bombing

SAN DIMAS - Denise Colnot said the thing she remembers most about her son, Army Sgt. Kyle A. Colnot, is his bravery.

"Kyle was my hero," Colnot, 57, said Wednesday. "He was proud to serve and knew he may pay the ultimate price for freedom."

The Department of Defense said the 23-year-old infantryman from San Dimas was killed in Baghdad on April 22 when a bomb detonated near the Hummer he was riding in, causing a fire.

Also killed were Pfc. Eric D. King, 29, of Vancouver, Wash.; Pfc. Jacob H. Allcott, 21, of Caldwell, Idaho; and Pvt. Michael E. Bouthot, 19, of Fall River, Mass.

The soldiers were assigned to the 1st Squadron, 67th Armored Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Hood, Texas.

"It's important to remember that [he] gave his life, he did not lose it," Colnot said. "He re-enlisted in the Army in July 2004, with full knowledge that he would likely be deployed to Iraq."

Fort Hood officials said Colnot enlisted in the Army in May 2000 and later served in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

He was sent to Iraq in November after re-enlisting.

"He loved his country and he would do anything for it," said the Rev. Roger Sonnenberg of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Arcadia. "What was neat about Kyle was he felt he was really serving not only our country but serving and providing a new freedom for all the people in Iraq."

The death of Kyle Colnot is the second recent tragedy for Denise Colnot and her family. Her 17-year-old daughter, Korra Jean Colnot, was killed on Feb. 22, 2002, while riding in a car with her 20-year-old boyfriend during an illegal street race in Ontario, authorities said.

Sonnenberg, who will perform funeral services Saturday for Kyle Colnot, said while losing your only children is unbearable, the Colnot family has managed to find strength.

"We can't comprehend what Denise and Jack have gone through," Sonnenberg said. "But they have tremendous faith and although didn't think she could ever endure losing another child, her faith has sustained her."

Kyle Colnot is also survived by his father, Jack, of San Antonio.

Denise Colnot said her son's loss has not changed her mind about the war.

"Even though I have lost my son I will continue to support the Army's efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan," she said. "We must never forget that we only have these freedoms because of patriotic, brave, young men like my son Kyle."

Funeral services for Kyle Colnot will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Arcadia.

The word "hero" is used very liberally today. It does not apply to the American military. What is heroic about killing women and children? Many of these so-called heroes of yours have committed suicide because of the reality of what they have done to a relatively defenseless people.

The real heroes of this massacre are those who have joined the Resistance to defend their country against the most powerful and misused army in the world. Hell eagerly awaits your arrival.

Thanks jake 77
LMAO My post was removed.
Did I hit a nerve??
Truth hurts dont it??
Besides the people we are fighting against train children to be soldiers.
Who in thier right mind would do that?
Oh I have already answered my own question didn't I?

When they let children be children, then MAYBE we'll talk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saddam Hussein and his evil forces commited genocide on the Iraqi Kurds.

That is ONE of the reasons that WE are over there in Iraq!
Hussein was just another Hitler!!!


Saddam's 1988 genocidal Anfal campaign against Iraqi Kurds, Named after a Koranic verse justifying pillage of the property of infidels, the Anfal campaign unfolded as the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was winding down. Iraqi Kurds had taken advantage of Saddam's preoccupation with Iran to seize control of parts of mountainous northern Iraq. But as soon as Iraqi troops could be withdrawn from the Iranian front, Saddam shifted them to the north.

Several thousand Kurdish villages were destroyed, forcing residents to live in appalling camps. In at least 40 cases, Iraqi forces under Saddam's cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid, used chemical weapons to kill and chase Kurds from their villages. Then, during the Anfal campaign from February to September 1988, Iraqi troops swept through the highlands of Iraqi Kurdistan rounding up everyone who remained in government-declared "prohibited zones." Some 100,000 Kurds, mostly men and boys, were trucked to remote sites and executed. Only seven are known to have escaped.

Put that in your bong and smoke it!

Question: Has anyone ever noticed that all of the so called war protesters are unemployed crackpots living on the fringe of society? Who need to bathe, get a job and join society? Those who do not contribute to society should keep the societal comments to theirselves.
Or better yet move to a communist society so they can live happily ever after.

May God bless Army Sgt. Kyle A. Colnot of San Dimas
Another American Hero!

God Bless America!
God Bless Our Troops!

America, Love It Or Leave It!
Remember 9-11


And if ya aint a legal American, then you do not have a say.
And we dont want your opinion.
It don't count!
And if ya are, and you talk this trash, then you are not a true American eiether. IMHO

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
Here is to you, anti war protesters who so bravely left your anounomous twisted and skewed comments, who would not make a pimple on the butt a REAL AMERICAN HERO! I was at the funeral of his grieving family, I bore witness to the unbearable grief his family had to endure. Kyle paid the ultimate sacrafice for our freedom as have many others before him. The freedom to live in a country inwhich our government doesnt committ genicide against certain ethnic groups, freedom to enjoy life, to live the american dream, to buy a home, to travel freely, to worship the God of our choosing with out fear of being killed for it, and ofcourse the freedom to speak freely! Yes Kyle gave is life so that we could all enjoy thease freedoms. He did this for me and evern for you so that you could have the freedom to disagree. But just remember every time you exercise that freedom....who in the hell it was that made it possible for you to bable about some thing youll never know any thing about.... Sacrafice.... and why would kyle do this... becuase he knew as many before him...that "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"!

Please enjoy your freedoms that were paid for in our hero's blood, but the next time you have something to say about a fallen hero, I hope you think of who it was that made that freedom possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: Please see the attached

Please see our hero's sacrafice.

We need less of this kind of hero.
We need more of the kind of hero who tries to the very depth of his/her soul to keep more families from having these silent returning heros, leaving their love ones only pictures and memories with holes torn in their hearts grieving for a future of love and warmth that will never be.
All for the lies of creatures who aren't worthy to sweep the streets, our fallen brother and sisters in arms walked, while they lived.

Your flag draped coffins would not have their occupants if the Chicken Hawks in power would have listened to us and certainly our freedoms would still be intact. Your Lord and Master G W Bush has admitted there was no connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda. And I will tell you here that there would be no Al Qaeda were it not for Israeli terrorism and our American Governments five billion dollar per year support for it. The world has lost millions of people in wars that need not have been fought.

Your statement … “The freedom to live in a country in which our government doesn’t commit genocide against certain ethnic groups, freedom to enjoy life…” reveals that you know little about your American history. The United States has and will continue to engage in terrorism. Not long ago millions of indigenous Indians were killed here for doing far less than what the Iraqi Kurds did.

Any comment about the USS Liberty? Do you think we should declare war on Israel?
Since you seem to have America’s “best interests” in mind. www.ussliberty.org.

Jew hater:
"And I will tell you here that there would be no Al Qaeda were it not for Israeli terrorism and our American Governments five billion dollar per year support for it. The world has lost millions of people in wars that need not have been fought. "

"Israeli terrorism" = the fact that Israel even dares to exist within any borders rather than capitulate to fundamentalist Muslim demands that it undo itself and allow dhimmi status extended to those of its Jews who'd be allowed to remain in the land once the Jihadi massacre has gotten rid of all others.

Jew hater:
"Any comment about the USS Liberty? Do you think we should declare war on Israel?
Since you seem to have America’s “best interests” in mind. "

Any comment on the USS Stark? Why do you think the US didn't go to war on Iraq *at the time*?

you are not worthy to speak of this comrade.
He put his mortal flesh at the command of others and was wasted.
He was my brother. He was a solder like me. Now he is dead.
You dare to turn this note of sorrow into your own carnival jingle about your rancid racist state of Israel.
You soil the moment.

The Devil (Bush): "Sorry to Oil the Flag Draped Coffins and the Artificial Limbs but Oil comes First. Fill her up?

Let me assure you that your state has been even more racist than Israel. Does the genocide of the Native Americans and the manners in which the African-Americans have been exploited ring a bell, or are you too much of a White supremacist Naziboy to care a whit about the truth? Hang your head in shame for turning your family tragedy into an axe to use for antisemitic ends and spreading lies about a state that did apologize and pay compensation.

If you sent these negative messages about our brave soilders and heros from AMerican soil, please take your ass to IRAQ and live by their rules so the soliders can kill you too. AND IF YOU TAKE MY Advice and go to iraq I'll give ya a week before your beggin for rescue from american soilders.
