Sad to say, but I would not be surprised if they were murdered. I'm fairly convinced Pat Tillman was.

Talk about shameless exploitation. If these soldiers never wrote one word for the anti-war crowd, you would not be bringing up their names now. Kind of like the other regular soldiers who have given their lives, yet receive no fanfare or publicity. Were they murdered?

In other words, these were precisely the sorts of soldiers that Gen. Petraeus is trying to groom for a new U.S. Army attuned to the requirements of 21st-cen...

True, this is a war. But how quickly the Right turns on the troops after spending years conflating support for this administrations failed (and immoral) war policies with supporting the troops. I guess that as long as the troops don't actually speak and serve as props for speeches and photo-ops everything will be alright.
