    I about cried when I heard about this right after I woke up today. It breaks my heart to hear we lost more good warriors! Everyday it hurts to hear that we've lost more but to hear about this many at one time is terrible. Thoughts and prayers to their families. Rest in peace brothers and thank you for giving your all for this country!! Your sacrifices will never be forgotten!!

    This puts your day/life into perspective... My cigar will taste that much better knowing that much greater men gave the ultimate sacrifice... Long ashes in Heaven brothers........

    Very sad indeed, even worse that they got killed in a tin can. The thing is, how much is enough? I mean at least in the Vietnam war, citizens rose up against the military. We can give our prayers all we want but until the useless wars are stopped and we allow it to continue we are all to blame.
