sad stuff. I see the result of this war at the VA hospital in SF now. I go down for treatments for something that happened over 40 years ago and I see these kids all messed up and I don't understand it at sll. Seems pointless to me.

Carrel, as pointless as it may seem.. The reality is, we're at war, and another young man has died.
I'm not sorry if I sound disrespectful for saying this, but I don't mean to come off as such : but pay
your respects, and question it somewhere else.

Penguin that is really classy.  FYI no one is forced to go seeing as the US military is a volunteer military force.

Here is the oath I suggest you read it and try to understand it before making snide comments.

I was making the point that he died doing what he believed in.

What you really did was put your foot in your mouth ... the comment was totally unnecessary.

<<S>> and prayers for the fallen soldier.
