A terrible, terrible tragedy.

[Tal]

I do must say I respect that people are going to war for (I wanted to say us but I mean the republicans) but if it is all bravery? I don't think so. If it is in the US like in Holland (professional army) you see that the army unlike 20 years ago now consists of mainly the lower socio economic groups. And that is a sad thing. The people that gain the least from a free country do all the work. There will of course also be a small group of ideological rough good-doers, but I think they are a minority.

You've not served in the United States Military (or from what I have seen any military at all) and have no concept of the benefits that veterans derive from serving their country. I suggest you limit your comments to something you have knowledge of.

I know many fine men and ladies who were able to go to college, to get jobs that were never available to them because of their military service.

But this is derailing from the topic. Iraq, the US Military, George Bush, Sadam Hussein nor you have anything to do with the tragedy that unfolded in Virginia.
