The Soldier on the Radio...

The radio hosts of a small town in America listen to the woman soldier from Iraq tell her heroic stories. The radio hosts listen with great sorrow as the tales of the war are told. Each day these radio hosts feel a great connection with this woman. Her emotions were spillt to these people and to the community. She told tales of what had happened that day, whats it like over there and so on. The radio hosts were always encouraging her to keep on fighting, keep hope in your heart. One day the woman soldier calls in an tells them that her husband who is also in the army with her in Iraq, was shot and killed trying to protect an iraqi child. The radio hosts were emotionaly hurt. The woman radio hosts burst into tears. Both of them were in silence unable to talk. They only encouraged her to be strong. The woman soldier told them that she was allready home, and that she'd be arriving at the station in half an hour. The woman radio host ran out to meet her, and grabbed the soldier and wept in her arms. The woman soldier also wept. The community was shocked at this news. A company that helps the soldiers after war was even sent in and a woman was sent to help her with her problems. The soldier spilt all to her and told her that she was pregnant. This made the radio hosts, the commmunity and the woman from the company feel remorse for the woman and were helping her as much as they could. The soldier told the woman that the body was not coming home and that she had had a miscarriage. The woman from the company felt such sorrow for the woman that she wanted to do something more for her, so she wanted to find her husbands body. So she asked for the husbands tag number. The woman soldier gave her the tag and the woman from the company put it into her computer. This was when she found out the woman was a fake. The tag number was actually a womans tag number who died a year ago. The whole thing crumbled from there. The woman had been lieing the whole time. She was a compulsive lier. The woman had actually been calling from her cell phone in her car, right next to the radio station. The whole town was devastated. They all had been lied to. This information was retrieved from the Oprah Winfrey Show. The woman was invited to the show and was going to come, but she had to go to a funeral. This makes me think. Really who can we trust? And how do we pick out these people? The answer is, just be a normal human being. These people who trusted this woman were only being the best kind of human beings they could have been. There is nothing we really can do for these people. All we can do is pray for them, and that they will be delivered from this disorder.
