This is an exact repeat of a post one year ago today. Except for this preamble about how disgusted we are that we have to repeat it:

That video is heart-wrenching. I cried last year when you posted it and again today. Thanks for the reminder of the pain caused by the absence (whether temporary or permanent) of every soldier. Yes, let's bring them home now.

As the wife of a former Marine who was at Khe Sanh and Ashau Valley, a daughter of a father who was in the Battle of the Bulge -- just a saw a great movie, Saints and Soldiers, based on the Malmedy massacre, the niece of both Pacific and European Theater combat veterans-- as well as having two relatives in Iraq and Afghanistan, I thank you indeed for your post. The majority of the people mentioned above became dedicated to the anti-war movement during and after Vietnam.

When I was six years old, my father was deployed to England to draw up flight plans for B-52 bombing sorties during the first gulf war. I'm 25 now, and it'll never look any different.

Estimates of the number of Iraqis killed vary wildly.
Of those displaced as well. Internal or external refugees (in Jordan, etc.)
The number 6 million, total, is often bruited about. But this is not the place to argue about that.
Little boys in Iraq don't often see their handsome, well dressed, tall and strong, Daddy come home.
If some daddies do return, from camps, from prison, from being disappeared, from exile, from kidnapping, from flight and starvation, there are no cameras to record the event for posterity, no tear jerker you-tube vids (or at least I never saw one.)
