A U.S. bomb disposal soldier lost his limbs during an operation in Afghanistan several months ago. After learning this grievous news, his girlfriend didn’t leave him. Instead, she did her best to help her boyfriend recover. She carries him up and down stairs, watch movies and enjoy the sea together. Right now, her boyfriend can walk with artificial limbs.

The boy has a dream, building a wooden house by the lake. In this way, he can hike in the woods and mountains with his girlfriend. To make his dream come true, his girlfriend and he saves money together. However, his dream was almost gone after he got injured.

A U.S. website interviewed him and launched a campaign to call on people to donate money to this hero. Originally, the website planned to collect 30000 USD for him. Just in 12 hours, the website already received 143000 USD. So far, the donation is above 250000 USD.

In another scenario, how about the civilians got bombed in Afghanistan, who lost their breadwinners? Well, no donations for them. They are neither heroes nor villains? Just food for thought.

Wan,

We just see it from different aspects. The young man is also a victim in the war. The one who should be blamed is the one who decided to launch a war against Afghanistan.

Wan, we have humanity inside. Though he joined the war, he is still the victim. His wife is the best girl he has ever met. Suppose his wife left when he lost his limbs, I guess that he might not recover.

He definitely made the wrong choice in marrying a girl.

Why? Do you think he is a burden to her?

Lonely, I commented some parts of your statement, not about what the girl is doing.

I am still a bit confused, Wan. Your coment is made for the above sentence? I just think that you do not agree that he should get married with a girl because he will become a burden for them.

Lonely, it means if his wife left him when he lost his limbs, then he has made the wrong choice for marrying that girl.
