Mesa soldier killed in Afghanistan Army Pfc. Barbara Vieyra Posted: Monday, September 20, 2010 3:45 pm | Updated: 4:41 pm, Mon Sep 20, 2010. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense says a soldier from Mesa has been killed in Afghanistan. Army Pfc. Barbara Vieyra died Sept. 18 of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked her unit using an improvised explosive device and rocket propelled grenade fire in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. The 22-year-old Vieyra was in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. She is a 2006 graduate of Skyline High School and also the mother of a young girl. She was assigned to the 720th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, at Fort Hood, Texas.
Poster Comment: I know it is a ridiculous article given that we are now losing almost 2 people per day on average in Afghanistan alone. I would bet you that Barbara Vieyra did not understand that the war effort in Afghanistan was wrong. She was deceived. She believed in our national institutions. No doubt, she expected that the mass media would have voices in it telling us the war was wrong if the war was wrong. She felt that the government had decided we'd go to war in Afghanistan and that therefore, there must be a just reason for the war. She was deceived. She went to her death without comprehending the truth. Because the truth was concealed from her. My brother is in Qutar. They bring all the dead from Afghanistan back through Qutar en route to the US. They have a 'fallen warrior' ceremony when each body arrives on the plane. and another when it is loaded up to go to the US. Every day the announcements are constantly made while he is at work inviting people to attend the 'fallen warrior' ceremonies. another young american sacrificed to Molech.

Americans were overjoyed when the draft became a horror worse than war. Regardless, draft nor no draft, it is the lower class people that go, that has been understood since the inception of this country. It is factual, the unwashed do the bleeding and dying. The only difference now is we get to stay home and rant and rave about how stupid the baby killers are, how naive they are, how uncivilized they are, so hypocritical of us. It is OUR government that sent them there to kill and what are WE doing to stop this madness???? Not a God damned thing. Talk, talk, action?? Forget it.
you are correct. the term 'baby killer' is not inaccurate. Our military people support a system where we send missiles from drones in the air down to people's homes. And our own government admits that 90% of the people killed in those attacks are non-combatants. Including children and babies routinely killed by tactics we use. Our style of warfare as a whole results in 90% of the people killed being non-combatants. So the term 'baby killer' is accurate. You're right that our people are not doing much to stop the wars. We should vote 'no' on every single politician who votes to fund those wars. We should have zero tolerance for any politician that votes to fund those wars. But many of our citizens feel compelled to engage in this war between republicans and democrats. When faced with a pro-war republican and a pro-war democrat they somehow find a way to justify voting for the lesser of 2 evils and end up voting for war. we the people do in fact vote for politicians who vote for the war. We should not do this.
