Dr. Laura talks to an Iraq war vet
Dr. Laura: Jay, welcome to the program.Jay: Doctor, thank you very much for taking my call, maam. Dr. Laura: My pleasure. Jay: I am an ex-military soldier with a loss of limb, and Im having a difficult time reconciling between being revered as (quote) a war hero and reviled as an oppressor. Friends, family Dr. Laura: Who reviles you as an oppressor? Jay: Believe it or not, my family. Dr. Laura: You mean your mother and father? Jay: And my sister as well. Dr. Laura: Who do they think you oppressed? I mean, how stupid is your family? Jay: My family is .ah, theyre not with the current times. My sister is currently in India, in her second marriage. She married a Pakistani of all things. Dr. Laura: Oh. And she doesnt understand the problems between Pakistan and India? Jay: No. Dr. Laura: But shes living there Jay: Well, she chooses not to Dr. Laura: Has she been on a train thats been blown up yet? Jay: No, and I certainly hope shes not. Dr. Laura: I mean, this is just stupid. I always want to tell these people, gee, why dont you go march in front of, lets do some history, I dont know .lets march in front of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, militant Islam right now, you go march in front of the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Brotherhood, Al Qaeda .you go march over there and talk about oppression! To tell an American soldier that he oppressed somebody is somewhere between stupid, ignorant and evil. And you know what, Jay? Jay: I did my job. Dr. Laura: Jay . Jay: I did my job. Dr. Laura: You cant just say you did your job. They said that in Nuremburg. Thats not the truth. You stood between the innocent and evil. And more evil cropped up. So now we have a worse time dealing with evil. People who have killed their own just for the sake of some power in their town. These are oppressors. You dont see anybody in Minneapolis taking out a whole segment of Minneapolis, because theyre of the same religion, but they believe a little differently. Go read it all. The Doctor rocks!
