A brave soldier who lost his leg fighting in Iraq publishes an incredible post that puts Donald Trump to shame.
While Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is shaming himself with talk of a national registry and I.D. badges for Muslims. While he shames the United States Constitution calling for an absolute ban on Muslims from entering the country.
While Democrats and Republicans alike blast his hateful, hurtful, bigoted rhetoric. While the media quickly begins to turn on him.
This brave solder does the opposite – publishing an incredible post putting “The Donald” to shame once and for all, and as of Wednesday morning – the post has been shared over 58,000 times.
“Frustrated that “some people” expect him to hate Muslims because he “got blown up,” Chris Herbert, a former British soldier, took to his Facebook page to set the story straight.
He began, writing:
Getting frustrated by some people expecting racism from me, because I got blown up. Here it is:
- Yes. A Muslim man blew me up, and I lost my leg.
- A Muslim man also lost his arm that day wearing a British Uniform.
- A Muslim medic was in the helicopter that took me from the field
- A Muslim surgeon performed the surgery that saved my life
- A Muslim Nurse was part of the team that helped me when I returned to the UK
- A Muslim Healthcare Assistant was part of the team that sorted out my day to day needs in rehabilitation when I was learning to walk
- A Muslim taxi driver gave me a free ride the first time I went for a beer with my Dad after I came home.
- A Muslim doctor offered my Dad comfort and advice in a pub, when he didn’t know how to deal with my medicines and side effects.
On the flip-side, he continued:
Contrary to that,
- A white brit spat in my girlfriends face for ‘fucking a cripple when you could have me [him]’
- A White brit pushed my wheelchair away from a lift so he could use it first.
- A White brit screamed at my Dad for parking in a disabled bay when I was in the services coming home
(Although, alot of people helped in my recovery! I dont hate white brits either! hahaha)
Point is, fuck off. I know who I dislike, and I know who I don’t. I know who I appreciate, and I know who I don’t. If you want to hate an entire race of men and women for the actions of a few dickheads feel free, but don’t push your views on me, thinking I am an easy target because one douchebag decided it was my day to die.
Blaming all Muslims for the actions of groups like Daeshe and the Taliban, is like blaming all Christians for the actions of the KKK or Westboro Baptist Church.
Get a grip of your lives, hug your family and get back to work.
When asked by one person leaving a comment if he would “mind having a word with Donald Trump,” he responded:
“He’s a fool, first line of the US Constitution declares (paraphrasing) that people cannot have rights taken away due to their religion. Even if he gets in, he has no legal right to do half the stuff he says.”
