The kid had only been in theater for one week.

His RHINO was struck by an IED killing him along with three others at this time and critically injuring several as well.

another useless death ......

:shock: :angry8: :angry8: :angry8: :cussing: :cussing:

Useless???? This I take offense to...

Get a clue, brother....

Certainly tragic and to be so young....I believe part of it is the allure that private contractors can present. I mean a local firefighter in Arkansas vs. private contractor in Iraq? Maybe 5 times the salary? Many also believe they will be safe because they will stay "on base". Certainly there is danger abound and safety can't be taken for granted. Especially over there

I am hoping that he meant senseless. Because as an Army wife I take offense to that too.

another heartbreaking loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Another soldier, another brother, another loss to us all. Rest in peace soldier.

"And when I get to heaven, to Saint Peter I will tell. One more soldier reporting Sir, I have spent my time in hell."

Useless you say?

Everyone else here who reads this please do not take offense. Just smile and take pride that we are the soldiers who defend this members right to say whatever they like even if we do not agree. That is why this country is great and that is why I defended it and that is why my fellow soldiers defend it now.

So say whatever you like, say it's a useless cause, a useless war or a useless concept. I for one, will forever take pride that you currently use the blanket of freedom that I and my brothers provide for you. Sleep well and God bless America!

It's a bad day when you hear of a fallen brother.

Rest in peace my brother, may you and our Lord look over us all, and give us guidance.
