      If you didn’t know, which I’m pretty sure anyone watching this does, Purple Heart is a metal you can get in the military for surviving something dangerous or being severely injured. For example, loosing an arm. They are very pretty in my opinion and I want to join the military just to see them up close. The purple reminds me of the stone, amethyst. I think they’re pretty hard to break, so that could be a reason the metal is purple. It could also be because back then purple wool was for the rich and royal, because it was hard to make and get. It was made from a certain type of snail or slug slime or something and was pretty rare. If you read this I hope you have a nice day and stay strong!!! Bye

Also we are not fighting the country of afghanistan. We are fighting against the Taliban and Al qaeda. We sent troops because the Taliban were allowing al qaeda to operate under their power. We were fighting alongside afghanistan troops to remove the Taliban from power. And if you are unaware we have signed a peace treaty with them and the U.S. will be removing their troops in 8ish months in exhange for the Taliban preventing al qeada from operating under their control.

    I was not in the military, but have been a Metro cop for 36 years & shot 2 different times, the second time I received 4 in the back 3 in the chest & abdomen, no vest on, because I had court that day. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks short of a year, and had 14 surgeries. My father was a Marine in Korea in 1950, and 1965 Vietnam he went only as an instructor, my oldest brother was a Marine, but didn’t make it back in 1974, he was 17, also lost 11 cousins in Vietnam most were Marines, but some were soldiers. As I mentioned I was never in the military, but I’m still on the job, and you’re a phenomenal inspiration to me, I still require one more surgery, yet watching your story helps me tremendously.

      Off topic I know but since there is no such “jesus of Bethlehem”
      HERE is The REAL MESSIAH, Who they REALLY Crucified for the sins of man
      From the Dead Sea Scrolls Exodus 3 Scroll, "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote
      Paleo Hebrew Direct Translation
      Yad "Hand"
      He "Breath"
      Vav "Nail"
      He "Breath"
      YaH's Name:
      (Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him as well all throughout the Book of Isaiah and Psalms, "this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3)
      YaH The Creator:
      Yad He, (Hand Breath), as YaH's "Hand" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "Breath" made him a living being (Adam)
      YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion:
      Vav He (Nail Breath), the "Nail" through the "Hand", that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His Breath brings forth life (Salvation)
      How YaH arrives:
      YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11), NOT through childbirth (Isaiah 45:10)
      Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified:
      YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY, as the Messiah claimed He was YaH.
      He was YaH
      Isaiah 42:8
      "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
      Isaiah 43:11
      I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
      Isaiah 45:5

    Cpl Carpenter is a straight up hard-ass. The type of man that made a decision to deliberately sacrifice his body for a brother, then look at the resulting pain and fear and challenge square in the eyes and say, ‘time to party motherphucker’.
    We need men across this great nation to emulate Kyle’s approach to life.
