Odd how a stupid child gets more press and picture coverage than men and women dying to save a way of life that allows assholes the room to be assholes.
ReplyDeleteWhen will it all end?
ReplyDeleteSadly they are familiar as the NY Times prints these as the Pentagon releases them and on This Week there is a segment for In Memorium .. we always make sure to watch and give them the respect they earned .. I am never sure which is worse, a 20something dying before he's lived or a 40something who likely leaves behind a wife and child(red).
ReplyDeleteI keep wondering how Bush/Cheney sleep at night
I'm very sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteThe news of yet another life taken always makes me sad, and I get upset when respect for those lost and their loved ones is not forthcoming. Thank you for the reminder..... we hear similar news of our own service personnel in the UK too.
ReplyDeletelovely highlights.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace. And thank you.
ReplyDeleteI don't get this war thing!
ReplyDeleteand still they die.
ReplyDeleteThere is this small English town near the airbase where the coffins arrive where they have these endless funeral processions that make the news. The names are read out on TV, the dead are always 'heroes', some as young as 18, many with families, children without a father;
the next week another batch arrives, and so on.
The killing continues . . . .
This breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteMy nephew is a marine as well - Im terrified for him and ALL of the brave people over there - its time for them all to come home.
Found you from RLL.....have a great day!
how sad.

As a society, I think we are mostly clueless regarding the realities of war.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the ages of those brave and fallen soldiers, and subtracting back to 2001, it becomes very sad indeed.
Oh, my God !
ReplyDeletePoor young guys. They gave their for us but for what !
Oh my, that list hit me hard.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
ReplyDeleteIt's so very sad, isn't it?
