i dont mean any offense, but what do we- as a country- have to be thankful for? that another soldier- one of well over one thousand others- has died in an unjust and unnecessary war?
yeah, im not very thankful for that.
to the deceased: much respect and rest in peace. may you finbd ultimate mercy as you pass.
how did this person put his life down for your freedom? no really, think about that and let me know, because thats a genuine question im searching for an answer to rather earnestly. i cant make any sense of this sort of thinking, so if you could explain, that would be nice...
the things you just said are very kind, but that above quote still doesnt make any sense. i think this is a sort of spin that the military uses on patriotic americans... that the dead somehow died to preserve "their freedom", as if that will asuage their blood somehow, as if its a necessary evil for the cause of a greater good...
...which i dont think applies to this situation in iraq at all.
I did not know you either online or offline until a friend told me of your death, and I read your most recent public posts. Even so, I'm very sad and angry that you were killed, so young, with so much left to say and do. At least you spoke of only one regret before dying. And I do hope you were able to wish your father a happy birthday. For you and yours, I have endless tears.
He is five foot two, and he's six feet four, he fights with missiles and with spears, he is all of thirty-one, and he's only a seventeen, He's been a soldier for a thousand years.
War is the most horrible thing. Since when did human life become a plaything for the powers of this world?
Rich man's war, Poor man's blood.
I didn't know Mike, a friend of mine did, and to hear of another death of a good man is heartbreaking. I'm sorry to anyone who knew this man.

Thats what I'm thankful for, people willing to put their lives down for my freedom.
It saddens me that they died in a war we didn't need to fight and shouldn't be fighting (IMO), but I will still thank them for their dedication.
