Here is simply the urgent certainty of what soliders returning from Iraq are dealing with here and now. There’s none of the flag-waving of, say, Flags of Our Fathers - we’ve yet to hear a convincing argument for the sacrifice of our soldiers, one that would allow for the balm of patriotism to soothe the grief or the anger over lost lives. There’s none of the irony or sarcasm of, say, M*A*S*H - we’re still too close to this to joke about it.
But there’s a mesmerizing power to this little film that comes from its sheer un-told-ness, from its right-now immediacy. Yup, it’s just barely this side of being a made-for-Lifetime TV soaper. Sure, it’s earnest - sure, it’s melodramatic. And then there are the tens of thousands of wounded, some of whom will be coping with life-altering injuries for the rest of their lives. Our so-called leaders offer only constantly shifting rationales for their deaths, when they speak of the dead at all.
The 3000th American soldier has just been killed in Iraq, and images of their coffins returning home are deliberately withheld from us. But it’s a story that needs to be told, that hasn’t yet been told yet, that many Americans don’t even realize they haven’t heard. It’s not one of the greatest war movies ever made. More than 200 people have commented on their grief on the post.Look, this isn’t Letters from Iwo Jima or Saving Private Ryan. She shared it with a screenshot and the post has been getting a lot of reach with over 4.8k likes and 2k shares. Her death news was revealed on Facebook by journalist Тетяна Даниленко. Sources say that she even asked people not to pity her situation as she was proud of fulfilling her duties for her nation. Nevertheless, Kushnir took it, took it like a fierce and mighty rock. Having to fight for a country that is at war with one of the biggest powerhouses in the globe is one of the riskiest jobs one can take. She definitely knew that her journey was going to end somewhere but not so soon.
However, this brave woman decided not to go anywhere else but fight till her last breath. The city is surrounded by the Russians and less than 100 females are currently present there. Olena Kushni was National Guard paramedic senior sergeant and she stayed back in the city amidst the chaos to save the lives of her people.
