It is too bad that they were young and didn’t probably pay enough attention to their training to do their jobs correctly and carefully. Spoken as a mom.

Your remark sounded gratuitously snarky and dismissive. You write "Spoken as a mom"--do you speak as the mother of a U.S. Marine? Do you know what the training of young Marines is like? Realistically, is there ANY way at all that you could know that these young men "didn't probably pay enough attention to their training to do their jobs correctly and carefully"? Unless you have some direct experience, as some Freepers upstream on this thread do, perhaps it would be best to refrain from saying "Oh, too bad" in that insultingly dismissive manner, with all associated self-righteous implications.

People are dead. Show some respect.

Sounds like your disdain for the armed forces didn’t get left behind upon your conversion to conservatism. That is what I read into your posting.
