Dangers of ‘Syrian’ (or wherever they REALLY are coming from) Refugees!

I don’t typically go on rants or express my political beliefs here, but I just have to get this off my mind. 

As some of you know, I’m active duty Army. Aside from that, I am a medic. I’ve spent 3 years of my life overseas in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I’ve seen some pretty atrocious sites caused by war, from both sides.  I’ve picked up blown-up body parts of friends and I’ve saved the lives of guys who were trying to kill me and my guys right before I was keeping them from their ’72 virgins’ or whatever they believe awaits them on the other side.  Here is an unbiased truthful view to the Syrian refugee situation.   

During my first deployment to Iraq in 2006, my unit voluntarily ran a children’s burn clinic outside of the FOB (Forward Operating Base). It was a constant target for attacks. You would think that people wouldn’t shoot mortars or rockets at their own children, but you would be wrong. We saw hundreds of children from infants to 18 year olds.  

The overwhelming majority of the kids we saw (90% or better) were clear cases of abuse. These parents were literally dunking their kids in boiling water, or throwing hot chai at their kids’ faces… Yes, we’re talking about babies, toddlers, kids not even old enough to understand why their parents would do these things to them. HUNDREDS of kids…  

We saw quite a few of these kids that were sexually abused, both girls and boys. Their parents acted if nothing was wrong with this, even when confronted by our doctors. This is the mentality of their society, not the viewpoint of a few individuals… these beliefs have been accepted to the vast majority of these people.  

Many were educated, well dressed, well-spoken me but yet they still raped their own children, and kept chai boys (if you don’t know what that means, google it.) 

During that deployment, we also captured the 3rd largest EFP (explosively formed penetrator) cache that had ever been captured. There were hundreds of copper plates, homemade explosives, fake curbs to house the EFP’s, hundreds of mortars and rockets and howitzer rounds, even an anti-aircraft gun. All of these things came from one place, Syria. Almost every single IED (improvised explosive device) or EFP we found, or or hit, could be traced back to Syria… A lot of the terrorists we captured were from SYRIA… Imagine that. 

Fast forward a couple years, and I find myself in Helmand Province in Afghanistan.  We had a group of Afghani’s that were paid to help guard our little mud hut in the middle of an Afghan village (I wasn’t on an FOB).  These guys also kept a “chai boy”, a boy about 11 years old who was there to serve these guys sexually. We heard him being sexually assaulted many times, but there was nothing we could do about it. We asked the police, the Afghan Army, and we were told the same thing every time…. it’s their culture, and accepted as the norm….  

Once again we captured Syrian made explosives, weapons and other items… We found Syrian passports during raids… And people out there want us to let these people into the US, with our kids, and near our wives, near our schools, near our churches, synagogues, malls. Places where we should never have to fear being blown up, shot, kidnapped and tortured…
