Sharing the way in which these people died makes this thread particularly tragic.

I'll be glad for the day when war ceases forever.

BS, you will be glad the day when Christianity rules all, nothing more, nothing less.

It is BECAUSE of people like you i am here, the fundamentalists who have no tolerance.

I might be in a bad place, but i will always be in a better place than you.

This only suggests that leftists' generalization of "evangelical" Christians is a movement of bigotry and falsehood. I was absolutely truthful in what I said, and I think you would be very prudent not to claim that you can read my mind better than I can.

Once again:

to all those killed in Afghanistan.

Klixxer, you've grossly misread me and leveled a gratuitous insult against me; however, I wish your safe return.

Thanks to all of them and their families for their sacrifice.

This thread makes me realize how fortunate i am, to be one of those who have been there and returned.

There are plenty of funds out there for those left behind, i will give every ? i earned during my last mission to them, more is needed, give what you can.

For us, those like us, the crown of the victory is just a bit more than a loss, from the warriors heart comes the truth that i nor you can deny, the call is for forever.

So rest well my mates, as long as i live, you will not be forgotten.
