My son lost 6 mates while deployed in Afghanistan a few years ago. With each death my fear of losing him grew...to be honest I think I have only just recovered from that deployment. My son came back a changed man desperate to live his life well in honour of his lost brothers. I am so proud of him & all his mates because they would pay the ultimate price for us. When I hear of another soldier lost my heart aches...and I remember 'but for the grace of God' it could of been my son, my family, my loss. I pray daily for those left to grieve & the soldiers still in harm's way.As for the insensitive Trolls? Grow a heart you morons!!!

How does calling someone a murderer and a terrorist for being a deployed defence member (or member in general) even weigh into the whole, should we be there or not debate? It's revolting, insensitive and uncalled for. <br />It does not make a political statement about the current defence conflict, it degrades and insults the members and serves no other purpose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306275581336590451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965359445386304890.post-77009481552164834232012-08-31T22:03:41.847+08:002012-08-31T22:03:41.847+08:00While I wholeheartedly agree and as the wife of a ...While I wholeheartedly agree and as the wife of a forgotten soldier suffering from PTSD - that's a whole other blog and not what P2P is blogging about right now.

My heart goes out to all families (defence or otherwise) dealing with a loved one with this horrendous condition. I completely agree that the mental heath side of fighting in a war-zone needs to be more closely looked at and the taboo needs to be removed. <br />I'm talking about internet trolls who use the death of defence members as a reason to be inflammatory and make revolting remarks to slur them just to get reactions or be generally disgusting. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306275581336590451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965359445386304890.post-26593875226248939162012-08-31T20:36:59.441+08:002012-08-31T20:36:59.441+08:00Geez... what about the discarded families with the...Geez... what about the discarded families with the PTSD service member that is not diagnosed and If they are are only given counselling, not the family of three small kids, moved from place to strange place and left alone to fend for themselves... the family that love that person who slips away from them??? then to be kicked out on the street after years of faithful service to these members that serve our country ?? Wtf about them... I am in no way disregarding the terrible deaths of our troups, that is not my intention, I barely slept whilst my other half was away. The defence has a lot to answer for in regards to the mentality of it all and the destruction of families due to the lack of post war mental health.

How dare some people go on their own little tyrant and start saying things about this and that. We love and support ALL members of the ADF whether we know them personally or not its human nature and as we are part of the greater defence community when something like happens it hits every single one of us regardless of if we know them or not they are FAMILY!<br /><br />All i wanted last night was to hold my husband and I couldnt he is currently away deployed due home soon but still its nights and days like yesterday when all you want to do is hold the ones you love close and make sure they are ok. Sadly there are 5 wives and families who wont be able to do that again. The empty seat at the dinner table will always be there as a reminder of the horrible event that occured yesterday and no1 can replace that person they loved so much and hoped so badly that it wasnt their partner may they find the strength to go one day at a time and know that we are all behind them 100% and that the men and women still fighting know we support them and thank them for everything they are doing to KEEP US SAFEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965359445386304890.post-40133738926990274762012-08-31T09:26:39.331+08:002012-08-31T09:26:39.331+08:00Funny.....My husband and I were having the exact s...Funny.....My husband and I were having the exact same conversation last night. He is RAAF as is 2 of my 3 boys and my daughter in-law, my youngest son is Navy.<br />You have perfectly summed up how I'm sure all military families feel.<br />My husband has done one middle east tour and will shortly deploy on his second. He is so proud that he is serving his country, after all that is what he signed up to do. Yes, I will be worried for his safety, but after 25yrs of marriage I know and respect that this is something he needs to do and I support him 100% as I do all defence members who serve and protect our wonderful nation.<br />As my husband commented last night, 'The Trolls' don't really give a flying f@#ck about the deaths of these fine men and their families, they just use this moment to get on and voice their political views.<br />I applaude your blog post and I also dare anyone to speak out!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965359445386304890.post-34963155343794717532012-08-31T08:40:01.043+08:002012-08-31T08:40:01.043+08:00Fiona
