The soldier with the sunglasses looks very much like a guy I know named Chris who is in the Army.  Wonder if it's him.

If we left now, the Sunni states in the Sinai peninsula would end up facing off against Shiite Iran for control of the country.  The Saudis and the Iranians would likely wipe each other off the map, and our problems in the middle east would be solved.....

As for the Iraqis themselves, they're obviously completely incapable of rational thought, so I really don't care what happens to them anymore, I've heard too many stories of them betraying our troops to feel any sympathy for them.

R.I.P. 

I'm not a soldier but some of you soldiers out there must feel more pain to hear that a brother in arms has fallen.



Coincidentally, I am watching V for Vandetta.  And in the movie, United States fell due to the war it has been fighting in the middle east and it fell into a second civil war.

I'm not saying that the movie is a fore shadow, just a coincidence that I am watching it.
sorry for going off topic.

Just because he was critical of the war in Iraq in general doesn't mean he didn't support his son at the same time. I bet my ass he did.

It's a shame. No father should bury his son. Not for such reasons anyway.

Wow.  A soldier died.

How many civilians died between his death and the previous military death?

Beat me to it.
At least the soldier knew what he was getting into when he enlisted. Iraqi citizens don't enlist to be killed in anything.
Oh, and if Saudi was wiped clear off the map, your problems wouldn't be solved - far from it. You need oil, and you know it. Without Saudi there would be a clear rise in price.

What can I say, except that every time I hear that another one of our boys or girls has  senselessly been killed or wounded on the battlefield of Iraq, I mourn for them, and I mourn for the families. I just want it to stop. Please! Bring our boys home.

to tell yo honestly, ofcourse i feel great pains when a brother or sister becomes KIA.  but that shit is a plain fact of war.  YOU CANNOT LET THAT SHIT GET TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN COUNTRY and when your back home, at least for me, i feel really numb to it.  its like a switch you could turn on and off and sometimes I feel like mine is stuck on the off.  is it a bad thing? maybe.  but emotion clouds judgement and keeps the mission from being accomplished.   if a soldier were to breakdown everytime a comrade has fallen, then we would not have much of a fighting army.


marine, tell me if im wrong

Then your President doesn't know shit.

But we all knew that already.


Support for a war has nothing to do with supporting the troops on the ground.

I don't understand why we make such a big deal of one soldiers death.

I can see a massacre of 140 marines being head news, but one marine really doesn't deserve all this attention. Sure, he died, and we feel bad for him, but why is it headline news?

Aye. The troops will always have my support for them to return safely and in good condition. Unless they do heinous things, they've got my backing. It's the guys in the suits sitting in Congress and the White House who get to be on the "on and off" support.
