"He was known for his smile. He was never negative. He was always happy," he said this morning. "He was looking forward to coming home and seeing his family and friends and a (Detroit) Tigers game."

RIP Michael...

So much talk about Palin, Teabaggers and shit that doesn't matter.

2. How many more stories like this will we read

How many more deaths will be tolerated? Why are we there? What are they dying for? And where the f*** is the outrage?! Enough! Bush's war was not right then and will never be right under this administration. Bring our troops home, now.

RIP, Michael. :cry: :patriot:

4. The occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are too politically useful

to end them. In the absence of any reasonable way to accomplish "victory" (since neither has any clear objective), the "war" must last until after the 2012 elections.

7. When the Brits lose a soldier,

they have his name, photo, hometown, and immediate family listed. This Week should do the same!
