That sux about the dead. I see Barry is doing a good job with our troops over there as well. Didn't he say he was pulling them out?

next summer. And, you'll whine when he does. IMHO, we should pack and leave both Iraq and Afghanistan and save the $3 Billion per day for something we really need. Hell, we could probably run Ruggies Mexican Round-up for that kind of coin.

Drop in the bucket compared to the bailout that didn't work.

Getting away from the thread drift and returning to the original post.....

That particular soldier should be embarassed as hell...a little bitty cut (three stitches) and he is "out of action"...and a few hours later, back on the job?
He definitely ain't "George/Victoria Cross" material....I hope he learns from it and continues to carry on...the others in his squad have to depend on him.
