What did we Save in WW2?  Allaboutthedawgs?

General Patton called WW2 a "Defeat".   He wanted to Re Arm Germany & Invade Bolshevik Russia, who killed over 50 Million Christians.   Communist Russia took over Poland & Half of Europe. He traded Hiterl for Stalin, Tito for Mao.

WW2 was about 2 things..

1. Creating a UN

2 Creating Israel

"I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around Roosevelt. We ignore Hitler's pleadings not to enter into war. Now we are forced to realise that Hitler was right. He offered us the co-operation of Germany; instead, since 1945, we have been facing the immense power of the Soviet Union. I feel ashamed and humiliated to see that the aims we accused Hitler of, are being relentlessly pursued now, only under a different label."

STAFF SGT TRACY DAVIDSON GOES BEYOND DUTY TO RUN IRAQI BURN CLINIC

Air Force Link ^ | Tech. Sgt. D. Clare

12/17/2007 - BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) — When Army Cpl. Joseph Barzeski invited Staff Sgt. Tracy Davidson to tour the Convoy Support Center’s burn clinic in Scania, Iraq, he didn’t think she would be back. But she did come back, again and again.

“I didn’t think she was going to want to stay, but she wanted to help,” said the corporal. “She just fell right into it.”

Since that day in mid-July, Sergeant Davidson has assisted nearly every day the clinic has been open. She’s become a fixture at the facility as a care provider for families, and a resource for combat medics who endure stress.

Corporal Barzeski, a combat medic for the 3rd Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, and NCO in charge of the clinic, said the sergeant’s contributions are invaluable. As a female, she is a comfort to the parents and girls whose burns often cover most of their bodies.

Likewise, as a mental health technician in an “in-lieu-of” tasking in support of the Army, she’s there to listen and support the medics and Soldiers who rely on her for emotional support.

Sergeant Davidson has logged more than 850 hours treating children at the clinic. Based on the impact she has had on patients, her command developed a Personnel Asset Sharing agreement that allows her to officially assist all three days the clinic is open plus volunteering after duty hours.

Burns are prolific among Iraqi children. The majority are caused by household hazards like children pulling hot tea kettles or pans from stoves onto themselves and gas explosions, said Corporal Barzeski, who is deployed from Fort Bragg, N.C.,

Though they are not able to provide the level of care that a patient might receive in the U.S., the treatment they provide exceed the level of care that children might receive at an Iraqi hospital.

Sergeant Davidson pointed to a case where a female patient came in with trash bags on her hands and burns covering her from chest to ankles.

“When we saw her, we didn’t think she was going to live. (Iraqi doctors) were going to cut her hands off,” she said. “I saw her last week and she can grab my hands. She has good use of one of her hands and the other is coming along,” she said.

As the clinic reaches milestones treating patients, word has spread among communities near and far — despite the dangers and intimidation families encounter enroute to the American outpost.

They have limited options and are referred to the clinic by Iraqi hospitals, especially in instances where they can not afford to pay for care, Corporal Barzeski said.

Despite the cries and struggles of the children in their care, Sergeant Davidson and Corporal Barzeski are motivated by the results their efforts yield, and the relationships they build over time with Iraqi families, they said.

“I can’t imagine the pain these kids go through. But if we didn’t do it, nobody else is going to,” said Sergeant Davidson, who is deployed from Hill Air Force Base, Utah. “The two-year-old in pain isn’t going to be grateful for what we’re doing, but the parents have seen what happens to kids who don’t get the care.

“It helps a lot as far as what the opinions are of the Americans. Word is out all over the place about how we have treated people with burns,” she said.

For help building these relationships, Sergeant Davidson and the Soldiers here turn to their supporters at home. She’s received donations of clothes and toys for the children from her family and a church in her hometown in Lincoln, Neb.

“We’re receiving tons of help from all over, people want to support thi

US TROOPS CONNECT IRAQI CHILDREN WITH HEALTH PROGRAM

NASR WA SALAM — As reconciliation efforts decrease sectarian violence here between Sunnis and Shi’ites, other challenges still exist, such as connecting the Ministry of Health (MOH) with Iraqi children in need of specialized medical care.
Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 21st Stryker Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, along with their battalion surgeon, recently took one more step in connecting the Iraqi people with their new government at a public health clinic in the small village of Nasr Wa Salam, west of Baghdad, by introducing the people to one of the government’s new programs.

“The overall intent of reconciliation with physicians is to work with the Ministry of Health,” said Maj. Jason Davis, a Killeen, Texas, native, who serves as the 1-21 Inf. Battalion’s surgeon. “One of the programs is the National Iraqi Assistance Center (NIAC).

“(The NIAC) is a non-profit organization run by the Iraqi government,” Davis said. “It basically sponsors Iraqi children under the age of 16 who have severe medical problems and can’t get care here, so they can go out to other countries to get the care for free.”

“We’re trying to bridge the gap between the MOH and the local people, so that’s what we did today,” said 1st Lt. Shawn Skinner, a San Diego, Calif., native, who serves as the assistant civil military operations officer for 1-21.

The beginning phase of getting care under the NIAC program is determining if a child is eligible for assistance.

“This morning, I was evaluating the children to make sure they were appropriate for NIAC,” Davis said, “and telling the families their role.”

While at the clinic in Nasr Wa Salam, Davis took part in examining three children who could possibly benefit from the NIAC program.

The first child, a 5-year-old boy, suffered from a broken leg, which was a result of a rare bone defect that makes his bones much weaker than an average child and thus susceptible to easy fracturing. The other two children, one less than a year old and the other approximately 7 years old, both had congenital heart defects, Davis said.

“They both have heart problems, which would not allow them to live as long as they normally would,” he added.

Due to the severity of their conditions, the children’s cases have been documented and prepared for the next step of the program’s process, which will take them to the NIAC office in Baghdad to arrange for travel, Davis said.

“Once the paper work comes through, we’re going to escort the kids to Baghdad for treatment,” said Skinner.

While their diagnoses warrant acceptance into the program, conditions must be met. If the conditions are not met, they may not receive the treatment they need.

Part of the conditions for Iraqi families to partake in the program requires them to provide $1,000, or the equivalent in Iraqi Dinar for travel, which is later reimbursed. In addition, only female family members, such as the child’s mother or an adult sister, can escort the child to receive treatment due to international concerns with terrorism, said Davis.

“If the kids get their surgeries, I’ll feel like I contributed a small part to the program,” said Davis, “I’ll feel good about that.

“The frustrating part is it’s only for kids under 16,” Davis added. “You can’t help everyone.”

The Soldiers who went to the clinic with Davis said they felt the mission of getting a means of treatment to a few children of the village was a success.

“It went well,” said Skinner. “The (Iraqi) doctor couldn’t come because of traff

Typo.   Allies traded Hitler for Stalin, Tojo for Mao.   Communism was able to spread.   UN & Israel created.  Mission accomplished.  Bankers fund both sides, charge interest to both.  Germany destroyed. Hamburg, Dresden destroyed.         2 million German POWs die under Allied care.   But I dont want to digress.

Michael Vick was mentioned all over this forum.  I see no reason this story cant be.  It is germanine to dogs & treatment & is a National News story.

Ugly,

Your first couple of posts after my last made some points with me but then you started rambling about WW2 and lost me.

I disagree with your WW2 comments and believe you got off track a bit.   Who is it that you really dislike?   Americans ,  Jews,  bankers? 

I believe some of what you said is true, yet there is a lot of the facts you have wrong in my opinion.

Specify which ones & Ill gladly prove them all.

One only read Pattons Diaries to understand what WW2 was about. Or the British Attorney General. Or research the Bromberg Massacre..

If the individual in this video had been a grocer, a tailor, a truck driver, would it then follow that grocers, tailors, truck drivers are all flawed individuals?  I think not. 

Patton's diaries huh.   Yeah he wanted to take on the russians.  I dont consider his diaries as factual history.

WW2 was about a lot more than the jewish people and Israel.  

I've never read anything from Shawcross, thats gotta be in the history books as well?

Hey your right about the lies , that I believe.   I dont think your right about hitlers intent or our(USA) reasons for joining in the war in Europe.     And yes American Industrialists and banks profited from both sides ,  four sides actually. What else is new. 

You still didnt answer my question, who do you dislike the most?      Not what.

I was more interested in your motives than your take on history.
