I'd say I have a right to say what I said.
Agreed, you do; I really didn't intend to sound so harsh, but my point still stands in that fortunately you haven't lost someone.
I had two nephews and a brother over there. Fortunately they all came home safely.
When someone has lost a close family member they are in a unique position to determine if the cost is worth the benefit. The rest of us are all guessing.
There are those who believe it is, there are those who don't.
Please forgive my harshness, it is a bit unlike me. The "dumbass" comment just hit me wrong and I fired back.

Cordially,

I'm not being cold here but...That's what a soldiers life is almost all about. We have NO draft therefore this young man was NOT forced into our military, he chose it. This uncle needs to keep his mouth shut. It is tragic to lose a nephew, I know I have. I felt like hell for months but I didn't play the blame game...oh if this or oh if that. Support your nephews decision, that's the honorable way not whining on tv.

You can bet our military did everything possible to find these two young men. We never pay ransom especially to a bunch of terrorist. You can also bet that the 101st will be relentless in finding their killers.

This uncle is another Cindy Shithouse. He is eagerly EXPLOITING his nephew's death. The least he could do is wait until his nephew's body is cold! Disgusting man this uncle and he undermines what this soldier fought for. God Bless this young man and his immediate family. I'm also disgusted with you and your ilk! ANN COULTER IS RIGHT AND THE MEDIA IS GOING TO EAT THIS UP AND GIVE THIS DISGUSTING UNCLE HIS 15 MINUTES OF INFAMY.
