The article doesn’t say, but am I safe in assuming that the guy’s son came back to life, or wasn’t he able to burn enough of the van?

This nutcase is probably around my age. I pray to God that our nation can get past the "Baby Boom" generation before this cohort does serious and irreparable damage to this nation.

Grief doesn't excuse crime.

He dishonored his son's memory and now he has to live with that on top of everything else.

God bless that brave Marine for keeping us free.

I feel very sorry for the Marines that went to that house. The military personnel that are responsible for notifying families of their loved ones deaths take that job very seriously. So when that father went outside and started their van on fire, the Marines were probably horrified. God Bless our servicemen.

It's a good thing his son wasn't one of the soldiers that Klinton told the parents "I didn't kill your son." He would have set klinton on fire.

As much as I disagree with his actions, I would never want to be in his shoes...seen too much in my time.

I'm sure his son would be embarassed by his father's action.

Losing a loved one can cause people to do a lot of things they normally wouldn't, but setting fire to that van will not bring his child back. What happened has happened, and no action on his part can change that. You don't honor your child's sacrifice in this manner.

May God help him find his peace.

Allot of young men go into the military because they come from looser parents who are abusive, drunk, drug using, unemployed and so forth. Usually these parents resent the military for the positive change in their sons and now even daughters.

Anyways, the Marine was a adult, a man, and a Marine. Frankly, only he can speak for himself. And he did.

Knowing what we know about the media we might be able to gleam something. Nothing positive was said about the man that would bolster the man's reputation. Hence the usual sin of omission because it is useful to the leftist narrative.
