one of the same of many generals that spoke out against obama. not surprised at all.
ReplyDeletetime to bring our soldiers home. entirely to dangerous over there.
ReplyDeleteThis is not major news (pardon the pun). This is happening every day but it is soldiers without rank. Why should this make the news and their deaths not. Bring our men home!! All of them...not just brass.
ReplyDelete7:11, Because this is the first time such a high ranking officer was killed since Vietnam. That's a LONG time. I believe it is news worthy, yet I agree with the rest of your statement. Proves we can't make everyone happy.
ReplyDeleteI am a veteran and I agree that all our troops lives are equally important but at the same time any time a general or admiral is killed in the line of duty I'd consider it major news. Most have no clue how long it takes or how hard it is to make these ranks. Only about 1 in 5000 officers will ever get above O-6.
