Thats too bad. Rest in peace buddy, im sure he was probably a great guy. Its a shame he had to die so young, he was only 20, just barely out of high school. War is such a crazy thing. In one way i wish we could pull all the troops out and bring our men and women home, but then again it feels bad that all of these people fought for nothing. I really dont think this war is going to end though, how do you win a battle against extremist terrorists? There will probably always be generations of people who hate Americans and non extremist muslims. Ive got two friends of mine over in afghanistan now, one of them is infantry and the other disables land mines and every day i worry that something horrible could happen to them. If only people could learn to live and let live and coexist in peace.
