You don't have to agree with the war to support the military. They are fulfilling their mission as commanded, even for the ungrateful and ignorant ASSHOLES amongst us. RIP, Rick, you and every other service member who serves are true heroes in my book, and we will never forget your sacrifice, just like we won't forget September 11.

Dear ForrestDweller80

You have hurt the family and friends of this wonderful young hero. No matter what your thoughts are about whether we should be there or not...... the things you said about our fallen hero are completely unacceptable. You speak of wanting everyone to just get along but you yourself cannot live by the most basic law of nature..... human decency.

Where are your manners and respect for human life?

@ForestDweller80

How disrespectful. I went to school with this HERO and find your comments extremely insensitive and crude. You said in your post we should all get along...perhaps you should start the process by not posting such cruel statements about fellow human beings.

@ForestDweller80 Well, I think it is pretty black & white. Have you ever watched the Daniel Pearl video? Could you possibly equate a few nuts saying "Iran's next" to sawing off the head of an American journalist. We have to have a strong military because our values don't include beheading, rape rooms, suicide bombing etc..We at least TRY to do the right thing most of the time. People I know overseas think we're totally unaware of our good fortune in living here. We could be in a mud hut in Asia.

[ForestDweller80]

It seems we have that "We're stronger, so screw you!" attitude, and that why I don't support anything this country does, because we take advantage. But, I'm just a little man, I will never be able to do anything to change it.

[ForestDweller80]

@bbdallastx @bbdallastx I agree, but it's a lot broader than that, it's not as black and white. I used to think we were the good guys, and it's not just thing like this that make me angry. When the military people say "Iran is next!" or stuff like that it makes me mad, because they don't know anything about other countries. and there are great people everywhere.

@ForestDweller80 You're 14? Well, I have to give you credit for having a brain and using it.

There is filth in the world but we don't live in one of those countries. It would be great if everyone got along but unrealistic.

Take a deep breath and be grateful that your mom, sister etc..can go to school, drive a car. show her hair, and speak to a man she's not related to without fear of stoning or even death. Thats why we can't get along..We're not the crazy ones..We're the good guys!

@bbdallastx @bbdallastx Obviously, since I have an internet connection, it means I don't live in a tree house. But it doesn't mean I buy my food at the McGrocery Stores, or stuff my face with junk food. Don't make claims you can't back up.

No I'm not stuck in the 60's I'm only 14, but you know what? We should all be getting along, this world is filth and these cunts aren't doing anything to help.
