Iraqi Woman Given Gift of Mobility Thanks to U.S. Soldiers

Straight from Fox News: “BAGHDAD — An Iraqi woman who lost both her legs in a rocket attack is walking again, thanks to some U.S. soldiers.

After an insurgent rocket hit her home three years ago, Soham Hassan Ka-Naan spent her days dragging her body across the cement floors of her family’s house or being lifted and pushed in a wheelchair. Her left leg was amputated below her knee and her right leg amputated near her hip.

Despite an effort by Iraqi doctors tried to repair her wounds, Soham was faced with constant pain caused by bone remnants rubbing against her skin.

Soldiers from Troop A, 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, discovered Soham while conducting a raid in Al Arabia, and decided they had to help. They took her to the fortified Green Zone for medical treatment and have been advocates for her care over the months and years.

The soldiers have taken Soham on multiple trips to a new U.S.-Iraqi funded clinic to receive prosthesis. They even pitched in and bought her sneakers she seems quite proud of.

Today, Soham is back in her village. She will receive new temporary prosthesis, with the promise of permanent ones within six months that will give her full mobility, pain free.”

Nothing to see here folks, just remember, according to the Kos Kids our soldiers are bloodthirsty mercenaries only over there to kill brown people, mostly innocent women and children.

  1. Great article Jason. And I’m sure there are tons more stories like this that we never get to hear.

    The most amazing thing to me is that families, friends, and supporters of the troops don’t get more infuriated with websites like KOAS.com, the Mainstream Media, and people like John Kerry who make statements that ALL our troops are over there purposely wantingly murdering civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. I mean these morons like Kerry are not saying “Certain troops” or “Specific soldiers”, these guys are purposely encompassing ALL of the troops in a single mass. They’re saying MY brother was a murderer for having served over there?!?!? Screw them!
