May God rest his soul , thank you Mr Baez I honor your service.
USMC / Veteran, thank you again.

This is what war leads to.... I wished we could talk first

rest in Peace brother in arm

This man did what hundreds of Millions of Americans refuse to do fight and die for the country. Rest in peace you are a hero in my eyes defending your adopted country. USMC

Sad to see another shipmate go. RIP.

A record 6200 tons of Heroine shipped out of Afghanistan last year. Send more US personnel to protect the harvest crops.

you said it, vivacuba.

When talk does not work, or when evil strikes at men anywhere,
Shrouded in the freedom our fathers fought for,
We also chose to live by the sword so that other man may sleep in peace at night.
We also know that we may die by the sword; freedom has a price.
God bless you!
Semper Fi

May you rest in peace my BROTHER, may you never be forgotten.
RECON U.S Army.

Another kid killed in vain, in the name of the so called "fight for freedom", as thousands are brainwashed by the US government with this old and cheap slogan and lured to the military with scholarships, because the US government has failed to provide for affordable college education and its only policy is that students get a loan many won't be able to repay or will take many years to do so after graduation, many are forced in to filing for bankruptcy.

No country is trynig to invade the US, did I say no country is trying to invade the US? Nobody is fighting for freedom, freedom from whom ? terrorists ? please give me a break, enough with this nonsense. Make no mistake, I have high regards and admiration for the people who serve if the cause is justified, something that has not happened here.

Bring all the troops home, nobody else needs to die so that big companies are able to keep making the huge profits generated by war and government contracts.

Rest in Peace brother.

Rest in peace brother

Holy Moses. the world is going to end today. i am one 150% in agreement with Tomito on what he says here. the USA has active service personnel in 150 countries in the world. what is that? no wonder the treasury is broke.

Send some more active service personnel until the treasuries life support has E N D E D permanently.

viva, they already have over 500,000 stationed everywhere.

To those conspiracy idiots....

You are so FN clueless about the world! Stay home and dodge the real work! And also just chut the F up.... This about a soldier that gave his life so you FN morons could complain with your mouth and pockets full.
26 years defending morons that can't even wipe their asses..... That is the only thing that I am clueless about!

Looks like another brainwashed creature of the system who thinks the soldier died to free us from terrorists and who thinks he knows best just posted again here, but yet he admits he has no clue why he does what he does, a symptom of great motivation.

With disregard to deep cultural roots many centuries older than theirs, his superiors have convinced him once the US leaves Afghanistan he will be able to comeback as a tourist and chat with Afghan women this time in bikinis by a swimming pool and of course enjoy the newly created "Red Light District" in Kabul, at last he will be able to sunbathe without having to dodge bullets and enjoy some of that great opium at a great price he so much craved for and that Aghanistan is known for. Hoorey !

Ughhwawawawa The terrorists........ OOOHHHHHH I am afraid!!!! Georgey, Richard, Oblama, save us from all the terrorists... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

1. My mind is quite my own. And below is my own opinion.
2. I was not a US soldier, so I don't care about your political delusions.
3. You are still so clueless... About geopolitics, the military, life, and enemies of freedom.
I said that I was clueless about why we do this for you. At least I admitt to my ignorance while you belittle this great man's sacrifice.
I was over there for a year... It is quite rewarding to see kids (boys and girls) go to newly built schools (our best weapon) in the mornings. Saw terrorists face-to-face; they are fanatics wanting no less than to convert the world and screw your freedom. I saw the the 9-11 training camps, Tora Bora, and serious meddling by Pakistan and Iran. Would rather keep them busy there than to fight them on our soil. Contrary to beliefs, Afghanistan has no oil or anything that is valuable enough to warrant an invasion. We were also invited there to help them. Not comparable to Irak!

Tomito and friends - Keep smoking dope and do not profess to be smarter than people that live and die for the idea of freedom. That was a pre-emptive strike!

rest in peace young soldier , I respect every man that goes to the military and fight for his country.

Concatchero, you are the clueless guy. why don´t you tell us about the freedoms that these guys are defending?why don´t you explain why the US has fought a ¨war on drugs¨for decades, then goes and jumps into bed with the biggest drug dealers on planet earth, the Northern Alliance?or, why they have hitched their wagon to Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah, two notorious drug dealers, running so much of the heroine into Amsterdam?guys are dying in Afghanistan so that arms dealers can test, and sell, weapons. Osama Bin Laden could have been caught by the same actions that finally caught him...stealth, and intelligence. there was no need to start war actions to get him. sending drones to bomb innocent civilians, for years, was just arms testing. one day, you will get it.

As I remember drugs are legal in Amsterdam.

U.S / world drug consumption is the root of the problem.

I've heard of no new weapons to be tested other then the unmanned drones, we need the drones for the U.S / Mexican border....that'al show'um.

Why catch OBL when you can kill him plus at the same time send a message loud and clear to those thinking of future acts "You can't get away with it".

OBL was not a one man show he had a organized operating net-work.

Freedom is not FREE ! Most people living in socialist country's can a attest to that.

In America one joins the armed forces by CHOICE.

The last two generations of Americans don't appreciate the sacrifices made by past generations.

All take care.

@Conchatchero:

"We were also invited there to help them. Not comparable to Irak!"

That was quite an invitation, when the US had to go into Afghanistan with military force, who invited you ? The Taliban ? Oh that's right, the invitation probably got lost in the mail.

As to Irak, I imagine you still believe the "delusion" that Bush and Cheney told you, and they only went there to just to remove the weapons of mass destruction and not to have more control of the oil because they didn't want Saddam to control it, oh but wait !, that was probably another invitation right ?

"That was a pre-emptive strike"
I didn't see a preemtive strike against the Russians during the cold war, who posed a much bigger threat, Oh I forgot, neither Irak nor the Afghans have nukes.

@riosm
The US killed OBL in Pakistan without the need of a war, with intelligence, they could have done the same thing a long time ago.


Continue...

Also, don't forget OBL was financed by the US when the soviets were in Afghanistan, he didn't seem that bad then.

"In America one joins the armed forces by CHOICE"
Sure, and also to pay for college and other perks, and due to lack of opportunity, oh I forgot and to defend freedom right ? that "CHOICE" was evident when not that long ago in Vietnam thousands of soldiers were drugged beyond stupidity and many even injured themselves so that they could return home and never sent back to "fight for freedom".

"The last two generations of Americans don't appreciate the sacrifices made by past generations"
They do, they just hate it when that sacrifice is based on lies and not justified.

Tomito

Don't talk to me about OBL, yes he was supported by the U.S during the soviet invasion....he then turned on the U.S which made him our enemy and after 911 became became our #1 enemy and got what he deserved.

OBL was protected by the Pakistani Gov. all along who was suppose to be our allies, billions in aide money should been cut then. They handed the Chinese top U.S military classified hardware.

As far as Vietnam that was a political war run by the politicians back home and Draftees who for the first time in American history were degraded by their own generation and were the first entitlement thinking bunch much like today.

I joined freely by choice like thousands before me and served with pride....this I will defend.

Tell me.......why do you live in the U.S and post on a Dominican web-site ?

I reminded of an old bumper sticker in the 60's "AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT".

War should never be justified...but when the time comes so be it.

@riosm

The fact of the matter is that the stupid US goverment continues sending billions to the Pakis every year (borrowed money from "friends" like China and others). OBL got what he deserved but this could have been done without a war and much less resources.

"Tell me.......why do you live in the U.S and post on a Dominican web-site ?"

Typical when someone has no more argument, but I will gladly answer:
I'm Dominican, I have dual citizenship and live in both places, in DR most of the time.
What part of DOMINICAN TODAY don't you get ?

Don't get me wrong I love the US, but I'm not blindfolded and will criticize what I consider wrong by both Dominican or US governments.

"War should never be justified...but when the time comes so be it"
The problem is on when that time never comes and the US decides to go to War like if it was a sport and the taxpayers at the beggining start cheering for their team based on lies by the government.

Continue...

Once those citizens find out that it was just a scheme based on hogwash and as they see thousands of corpses of their loved ones being sent back home fighting for no reason in two senseless wars that should have not been started by the US in the first place, all of a sudden they stop cheering and demand that their government stop wasting billions of dollars a month, money much needed in the US to stimulate the badly wounded economy.

riosm, if you do not believe that tomito is making sense, go google VIETNAM.

Just like you both.....can't stand the truth !

The powers that may be block my whole post....

I'm being censored without the bad words.

I'm sure if I were to advertise some BS Chinese products I'll get threw.

They probably support Castro/Hugo/Palestine and the rest of the loco lefties.

More like birds of a feather stick together.

there goes freedom of speech.....printed that is.

And to think I had many good one's to answer you both.

I lost faith in DT.

They killed OBL nine times in ten years just liked they killed American Ctiizen Anwar Al Alaki (the CIA Lackey) . Yeah, right, if you believe this, I have a cheap bridge to sell you (US dollars are not accepted) Theywere/are both US intelligence operatives. Anwar Al Alaki even dined at the pentagon. Everyone do your research first (not from US govt controlled mainstream media) and then determine who the real enemy is

Let's see if this goes threw.....

tell us during the Cuban revolution how many Cubans did Castro kill ? Not the ones that are still alive in Cuban political prisons if any.

Yep ! A cheap Cuban made bridge to sell at that I bet, which nobody would want anyway.

Many believe the sided Gov. controlled media version that they most agree with in order to save face, the real enemy here is total ignorance.

WOW ! it went through this time..... UNBELIEVABLE !

After retiring this year from 20 years in the U.S. Navy, I thank God for his graces. May the soul of this honored shipmate rest in peace.

Razon
From one vet to another......God bless you for your service to country.

For serving the global elite and their one world government takeover agenda. America's freedoms are long gone. No serviceman is on the homeland protecting the constitution and bill of rights. They are preoccupied fighting in foreign lands to take over foreign nations sovereignties to give to the global banksters, the same banksters that were responsible for 911. Wake up. The enemies are from within.

Well, cats come out of the bag!
How stupid of me to believe in a higher motive.

My point about all this is.....
An honorable man died for his new country.

This page of news and post is dedicated to him; not to defending or dissing his sacrifice.
Regardless, how you look at it.... Most of us that do long carreers in the military do so because we believe in serving. Yes, sometime you cannot make sense of the politics and the WHY but it is not our battle to fight. The decision makers represent the people and we enforce the will of our country for a better tomorrow.
This is my last post here because I find argument senseless when it is with people that have "never been there and done that". I and many before me have and doing so made sense.
God bless the soldier that dies to protect the flag.
God bless the person that has the freedom to express their opinion and burn the same flag!
God loves all!

Concatchero,
Very well put....I will also remove myself from this article.
