Heartbreaking picture on MSNBC web site.

Young woman lying on the ground before a tombstone (in Arlington?). It's a killer.

May she find peace.

13. Wow:

After reading a love letter Regan wrote to her, McHugh said in a passionate whisper, "Jimmy, we never got to wake up next to each other every morning. Jimmy, I will wake up every morning and thank God for the opportunity to love and be loved by you."

15. Rest in peace Jimmy

"The fiancée of a Long Island soldier killed in Iraq moved a thousand mourners to tears yesterday with her touching tribute at his funeral yesterday.

"Jimmy was a hero to many, but he was always very humble," Mary McHugh said of her beloved, 26-year-old Army Ranger Sgt. James (Jimmy) Regan of Manhasset. "He always sought team success and not personal glory."

Regan was to marry McHugh, a medical student at Emory University, when his Army service ended next February. He had served two tours in Afghanistan and was on his second tour in Iraq when he was killed Feb. 9 by a roadside bomb while on combat patrol in Baqubah."

20. So true. Boy, this photo really hits me.

And multiply it by 3500 Americans, or 700,000 Iraqis. Got, I hate that dim-witted little POS. And his fucking "lump".

21. Boy does that hurt.

It's a picture that should be on the front page of every newspaper in the nation.

Two tours in Afghanistan and Mr. Regan was on his second tour in Iraq. The extensions of these combat tours is nothing short of immoral and criminal.

May he rest in peace and may his fiancee find peace as well.

22. He volunteered.

The title of my post is :sarcasm:

Nothing gets my blood boiling like the frequent freeper response to such tragedy that the dead soldier "volunteered" for this -- as if the volunteer's life is somehow less valuable or that his government doesn't owe him the truth and a mission worthy of his sacrifice.

23. Volunteered to defend and uphold the Constitution.

Volunteered to guarantee EXXON Mobil profits wasn't mentioned anywhere.
