Picture of T.J. Conrad, 22 years old killed in Afghanistan because of the burning of a Koran. Flesh and Blood shed in the name of printed type. WE apologized for destroying a book, but where's the apology for TJ CONRAD and his now seven month old baby girl pictured here? Why is his life less valuable than inanimate material?

I agree with you. Whoever ordered the burning and didn't foresee the possible consequences was not thinking clearly. Even if they didn't know at first that the pile of books contained a Koran, they should have had someone check. Apparently the story came out because an Afghan laborer at the base was helping with the burning.
Of course it's not this officer who directly killed Corporal Conrad, but if part of our effort in Afghanistan is to win hearts and minds, then this was a very serious error.

The military has a problem, years ago when I had the burn detail, the only people allowed was gi’s. Like the problem with cameras if it is not gi issue it stays in your locker. They have fixed problems that did not need to be fixed.

There is a something about this that does not make sense. No adult alive today could consider burning one of the Korans because we’ve already been down this road before and know what happens, so I wonder if this is a cover story? To cover something else? I just find it hard to believe that ANYBODY serving over there would even consider doing something like this. It has to have been stressed OVER and OVER and OVER....again. We just retired from civilian service overseas and we go through these trainings all the time. And, I do mean all the time! Something about this doesn’t seem right. Either someone is callous to the effects, like a Muslim serving in our own Army, or planned it to setup fellow soldiers, allowing the enemy to do it instead of himself and face court marshall proceedings. This seems plausible to me. I just cannot believe that someone forgot something like this.

This is it...it is war! Do you still not get it? this is a plenary global existential war to the death. it means the absolute annihilation of the losing side. wake up! this is not a joke. it is not a “Test”...It is not something that is “coming our way”...It is Here, The pretension that it is yet in the future, or that it won't get worse duplicates the denials of the Transylvanian Jews who watched as they were walled into the ghettos with “this too shall pass.” They busied themselves by hiding canned food in their basements and buried their silver in their backyards so they could come back and use it for barter when things got bad... my family stayed in Minsk. Most of them were killed by the Nazis. People said, “We won't die...that's crazy! Do you know what is happening in South America? in Spain? in Dearborn, Newark, Mississippi? All driven by hate...of Israel, of Torah. the line is drawn...Stand for the God of Jacob. smite the waters Elisha, it,s time to be born.

I’m waiting for the elected Repubs to get out and show this picture, scream about the stupidity of it all.
Where’s Boehner? Where’s McConnell?

Wheres Boehner? Wheres McConnell?
Sorry, the Rino phone is busy.
Bohner and McConnell are busy trying to figure out how they can get out from under the responsibility of handling Obama’s program to arm the Mexican Cartels and jihadists across the WIDE OPEN border.
McCain is in charge of running clearance for Democrat voter fraud.
Jeb is busy telling everyone to shut up about every thing.
Romney and his Rino pals are busy attacking conservatives in the race.
Everyone is too busy to worry about soldiers sacrificed on the Obammy’s altar of Marxist/Shira political correctness.
