5. It's incredible that he was able to do that without losing his composure

Even his expression is peaceful, as if he has completely separated himself from pain and fear.

8. It's a very profound act - not one that can be sanely dismissed, imho.

It seems to clearly demonstrate the incredible ("transcendent"?) power of personal faith and commitment. No comment I could make would compare to what's been observed by others over the years.

6. THANK YOU for highlighting this story

I can honestly say I'm fairly up to date on many US and world affairs but am not hearing about this til DECEMBER is just hours from us. A month of news blackout about something as dramatic and newsworthy as this!

If this isn't evidence of HOW F***ING FAR WE HAVE TO GO to take our country back....I don't know what is.

7. i also RECOMMENDED it and ask others to as well

this country is insane and undoubtedly driving us insane. just as Bush is "breaking the military" he is also breaking society.
