Come on Somer...give it a rest. Incredibly inappropriate to even bring that into this thread. I like you alot...but let's leave the political agendas out of something of such a sensitive nature as this tragedy. Time and a place for everything...

I agree. You had every right to mention that. In fact, it isn't mentioned enough.

bullshit it wasn't. KIDS DYING IN IRAQ compared to THIS. No where NEAR comparable. That is like comparing Arlington to Hawthorne

Get off your rocker

You know, I take a lot of bs here from folks with an ax to grind, I don't give a **** what you think about me but don't you dare put words in my mouth or assume you know me...you don't. I was expressing a sentiment that had zero political implication, I doubt you'd find a politician on either side of the political spectrum that favors death of kids in Iraq, Virginia or the moon...try reading for comprehension instead of thinking you can read my mind!

Somer....kids dying sucks either way. I hate the fact they are dying in Iraq just as much as I hate and grieve for the kids and faculty that were killed today.

These kids in Iraq inlisted into the service of their choice, KNOWING that there is always the chance of war, conflict, etc... Sh*t...some of these people are asking to go back to Iraq for a 2nd and 3rd time. They know that death is a possibility. It DOES NOT make their deaths any less sad....

but to mention them in the same sentence came across in the wrong manner to me. They can't possibly be compared...IMO.

Matter of fact, I HEARD 2nd hand that in the agreement you sign with the armed forces, it even SAYS in their that their is a possibility of death within your enlistment. I could be completely wrong but it validates what you just said
