I woke up crying
 

SEALs trained to take risks

The statements of

the wife's or parent's of these brave men echoing in my head ...

"He wanted to be a SEAL from the time he was 10 or 12 years old,"

"He always had a love of God and his country. He's always been a patriot."

"wouldn't want to leave this Earth any other way than how he did," his wife, Kimberly Vaughn, told CNN. "He loved his job,"

...

There's not much to say - the sadness is too much to contemplate. Their silent dignity speaks volumes for who they are.

Their wife's and family's are as much warriors as they were.

Such a loss.

Its a work hazard. They knew the risks.
The sad part is they died in a country that is no threat or benefit to us.

Way to turn honoring the dead into a political opinion!

May those soldiers R.I.P knowing they fought for their Country.

Spoiler Alert: You might be shocked to find out that there was gambling at Rick's Cafe Americain . .

And thats the hard truth. More wasted lives.

If you guys were fanatical Baptists you'd picket soldier's funerals. Same deal. Different message.

LOL I want whatever you're smoking. It must be fun.

???

if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

if its and buts, were candy and nuts..

(wow, i can make false equivalences and bizarre non sequiturs too. this is fun.)

(i can be a blind patriot, and support the mindless waste of young lives.)

(wow, i wish i could have been alive during the vietnam war, so i could have supported that folly too. something tells me that you probably did. i'm sure jesus and ayn rand did too)

remember: ideology is always more important than reality!

We have ample opportunity to express whatever opinions we want on this board.

Would it be OK if we leave this thread for an expression of appreciation and a small memorial to the men and their families?

No, this is the wrong place to do that. You've already started about a dozen threads about your religious beliefs. When one thread fails to go in the direction you want it, you start another, and another. We get it, we can see it in your signature.

The melodrama as of late.

How, exactly? Has Afghanistan attacked us? :confused:
