How cruel!

The other day, while watching a movie about World War Two, someone said something that struck me as cruel and heartless. In the movie, a young boy was experiencing his first time in combat. He was the ammunition boy and had just witnessed a boy from his outfit be killed, so naturally he was scared and hid for a short time. Well someone sitting behind me had been complaining about this boy and how lazy he was. But what he said next infuriated me. He said very loudly "I hope you die! I hope the Germans kill you!" I couldn't stop myself and I know I probably shouldn't have said anything but I turned around and said, " you know what, you've never been in a war. You don't know what it's like. I hope they ship you to Iraq." It made me so mad because all I could think about was if they can say that to a fictional character, then what's stopping them from saying it to a real person, someone who faces death for them. I can't believe they said it especially when I think of my two cousins, one who is already deceased and one who is about to he deployed and hope no one ever says that to my living cousin who is in the Marines. I hate it when someone says stuff like that especially because of deceased cousin.
