Answer 1

NO--my weeping ended in Viet Nam many years ago--simply wept myself dry---This simply takes another piece of my heart and runs it thru the same old meat grinder that just continues to turn---not necassarily for these brave souls but for the countless loved ones and familly that will never know a future fulfilled- and a promise unable to be completed, the holidays with the empty chairs, the graduations and weddings with no father there--and the sadest thing of all--there will be a brand new list tomorrow

Answer 2

You know, you could list a ton of deaths from all the wars and you wouldn't be telling us anything we don't already know. People are dead. We don't feel happy about it, never did. War is not a happy thing, period. What's important is to support our troops. Make sure that they are welcomed home with open arms. That is what keeps this from being another Vietnam.

Answer 3

Yeah, I'm sorry... I have no idea what you're trying to ask. If you're implying that I should be saddened by those people who were either hurt or died during battle... I don't have a lot of sympathy. They knew they would get hurt if they went to war. I can't cry for them or applaud their deaths because I'm neither family nor extremist.


Sorry for being so blunt, but I have to be honest. :-/

Answer 4

Yes its sad.
But not as sad as the unfeeling uneducated piece of pond scum that would post all those soldiers names on this site. You are the stain on humanity. what gets me is the fact that your alive and those brave people are not. Pleased with your self.

Answer 5

I had a bad day but not worth crying. Your list has no explanation or are these New Officers to be.

Answer 6

I am saddened by the fact that they were sacrificed for such an uncaring group of undeserving people.

Answer 7

"Fubar46" and "John H" said it all for me but better than I could think of. I think you are cruel!! War is hell, but don't put a guilt trip on us.

EDIT:: I didn't recognise you until I went back and saw your questions. Are you ashamed of K-9?

Answer 8

Sad, but not as sad as a terrorist's nuke taking out a whole American city.

Answer 9

12 June? yes
also the anniversary of my grandmothers death

Answer 10

I'm sure that they are all somebody's husband or somebody's son.
