I’m sorry for your loss. God rest his soul and God bless his family. 🙏🏻

Thanks, Griff. Love ya, buddy.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Thanks glux. I wished I could haven known him.

Damn commie

Doesn't change the fact that they served in defense of this country, whether used directly for that purpose or not.

Not going to celebrate the tools used by an imperialist war machine to further exploitation of other land and people

Well that's a shame. Good men and women have died doing something a weak ass like you not only couldn't do, but you openly diss their sacrifice. I get having strong disagreements with the causes of various conflicts, but not what you do.

If they were good men and women they wouldn't have gone to war to kill for corporate greed and corrupt governments.

To any who died fighting in wars for the US after WW2, good riddance.

Debatable. Usually those feelings are not established until a while after. Afghanistan is a great example. Excellent reason to go in. First Gulf War war certainly noble as well, though not necessarily in direct defense. Vietnam featured many thousands of drafted men who, despite being forced to join, most served admirably and with dignity. Your way of thinking is shallow, short sighted, mean spirited, and outright disrespectful to the sacrifices of deceased service members and their families. You have the right to be ignorant and stupid, but those are rights I would highly advise against exercising.

I speak as a proud service member of over 14 years who knows a few who have died in service to this country. They did not die in vain.

I’m sorry for your loss and thank you for your service.

That’s pretty tough to deal with.

An observation on sacrifice. One shipmate died while underway. We had months ahead of us, so we put him in a body bag and stored him in the freezer until we pulled in. By the time his family knew, he had been dead for over 60 days. As bad as that was...we later lost two guys at sea.....the bodies were never recovered.

With one of my sons someone got in the way of the plane. I think my other ones there was a death to do US actually accidentally involved that was in Korea. I think it may have been a civilian deaths in so many years. I know it really bothers my son’s. A part of my son-in-law’s unit was killed in a terrorist attack.

There is a real randomness to deaths in the military...from combat...friendly fire....training....stupidity....accidents....or combinations of.

With my husband being a high school teacher I have found similar things. Usually it’s just plain stupid. One young man got ALS. And our friends son was killed in active duty. And two of them were firemen

I’m very sorry.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

Thank you. They were both good men.

Tell them thank you for me! 🇺🇸

I’m so sorry.

Vietnam?
