My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
Another life taken too soon.
RIP- Prayers go out to his family.

The mysa.com article had some depressing quotes. Apparently he was in his fourth (generally last) year of his tour of duty. At first he was passionate about the military but like many others he grew to dislike it along with the policies of war and was planning to pursue another career.
RIP. Check our Restrepo for a chilling firsthand look at what a battle in Afghanistan is like.
Oh and joshdaboss is a troll lol. Love the Parker bashing
Tragic. My condolences to his family.
I feel bad for his parents as I do for all the innocent Afghan civilians killed by Coalition Forces. However, he made a choice to join the military whereas the Afghans were thrust into this situation by force.
Which no one was debating and which wasn't the point of this thread.
I wish you guys wouldn't use the quote feature to quote trolls over and over and over. Then, I would only have to delete two or three posts instead of twenty-something very time.
Anyway, back to the thread -- which isn't for political opinions or military bashing. You can do that in the Political forum.

Dr. Schmidt was very nice to me when I was a patient 13 years ago. Very sad.

Yup Dr.Schmidt is a really cool guy. He did both my ACLs sometime ago. My condolences to him and his family. Mad respect to his son and his bravery.

My thoughts go out to the father and the family of that young man. They are the ones suffering.
Condolences.

My deepest condolences to the parents, friends and family of this young person. It's beyond belief how much pain they are being forced to deal with right now.....rest in peace brother.
That's sad, I hate that for his family. I wish we would pull our boys out of there, this kind of news is getting old to me.
