What's wrong with you?

Be happy that he was able to save an innocent life.

Now put your flag down phony patriot, because our mission of occupy and destroy in a country that has posed us no direct threat is just as barbaric as any throughout history.
America is special? lol How many women and children has our government killed in its wars without objective?
BULL! The purpose or lack of purpose of the mission the man was sent on, the one he went on because he lived up to his word and the oath he took, takes nothing away from his heroism.

Yes, people like this are special because they do the jobs they swore they would, regardless of whether the people who assign them those jobs have made wise decisions or not.

So take your name-calling crap and stick it in the land of no sunshine.

And this man had WHAT to do with making the decisions that led to our warmongering? He did what he took an oath to do. Direct your scorn at those who deserve it, the ones who made those decisons, the ones who betrayed the public trust by doing so.

God bless him to be flying with angels!

We have a lot of troops that are most giving to those in the countries we have "actions" in. (we citizens and our soldiers too, often aren't sure what these actions are really for)

Pics that MSMedia do not give us nearly enough of. These links are pages with the pictures, only just so y'all know.
