3. Good god

4. I don't know that he was a DUer.

He blogged for the Rocky Mt News--http://blogs.rockymountainnews.com/denver/iraqiarmy/

What a loss. I feel for his family.

From his final post: "I believe we understate the costs of war; when we make the decision to fight, we make the decision to kill, and that means lives and families destroyed. Mine now falls into that category; the next time the question of war or peace comes up, if you knew me at least you can understand a bit more just what it is you're deciding to do, and whether or not those costs are worth it."

RIP, sir.

10. thank you for posting this

sometimes you see the names as just printing on a page.

We (I) need to be reminded that these names belong to
actual people who are the same age as my son.

Thank you for reminding me

Freedom isn't free, but to these Repub assholes, human lives must also be free.

I am very sad about this.

[SPKrazy]

16. Whether he was a DU'er or not

he was trying to bring the news back from a place where lies are the rule of the day and death abounds.

Sad, very sad when anyone dies in that fabricated excuse to make money for shrubs buddies

sad that Americans or anyone has died there.

[otherlander]

17. Oh shit!

:cry:

[av8rdave]

19. How horrible

What a terrible reminder that this war isn't about nameless, faceless people somewhere far away.

My thoughts are with his family.

21. Kickin'

because as much as I love dogs, I hate to see a post about a dog dying getting more replies than one about a person dying that apparently at least had ties to DU, and was a human being trying to bring the truth out of Iraq.

No offense to the dog thread or Lady Freedom please, I'm just making an observation.

:hi:

24. tears for G'Kar & sympathy for his family (nt)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

25. This is depressing.

I didn't know the guy, but I really wish I did right now. What a beautiful person. What a waste.
