I'll drop it. No more interrogation.
I am pretty certain "Amanda" is a total fraud, top to bottom.
She's not what she says she is.
Just a silly person doing a poor job of impersonating a family member of a deployed Marine to get ...what ...a soap opera entertainment ?
False sympathy - "ohhhh...pooor dear..." ?
There is no brother. "She" made it all up, and can't back up the story with anything but more B-S.
Shameful.
Marine Units Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan from MarineParents.com: A Place to Connect & Share(tm)
Click a gold bar, Pick a unit, any unit from this well accessed well maintained website.
You can access unit webpages, communicate with each unit's chain of command. Contact an individual person.
She can't even tell us this or the unit's name.
Fake fake fake.
Engineers units are one of the top priorities in Afghanistan, all Engineer units so designated are shifted from Iraq quickly, not "in a couple months".
The US Marines do not give "early out" discharges so troopers can join Blackwater.
Blackwater is not hiring.
Cellphones work all times of day. Troops know the time difference, can call home any time, and they do. Most communicate via the internet and email. Cheaper. Easier. Pictures, streaming vids, access through Facebook and MySpace.
Units all have addresses, some have built nice websites, and post updates to families.
Real troops deserve better than to be played with like they are pawns in some ridiculous kid game.
Done.
