and possibly a new Jihadi.........

With due respect, I believe that comment is way out of line. Unless you have darn good evidence, I give no quarter for someone crapping on the reputation of one of our heroes.

The speculation is just that, nothing more. If he’s been killed he truly is a hero forevermore. But these islamists are also into conversion to their faith, and have been for centuries, remember the Fox reporter, presented with the same choice......

Well speculator, do you have ANY evidence that ANY of the American soldiers captured by the Islamofascists has EVER turned traitor in the way you suggest.

Speculation or not, it is inappropriate to cast dispersions in this way without evidence. Think for a minute - if you were Matt’s parents and saw what you just posted. I can tell you, when my brother was there, had he gone missing and had I seen someone “just speculating” that he was a new Jihadi, I would have ripped them a new one. Can you put yourself in their position? They have most likely lost a son, murdered by terrorists, and you are denigrating him without evidence. Put up the evidence or shut up.

May God bless Matt Maupin and his family. My heart goes out to them all. So very sad.

Matt disappeared not far from where I was posted at the time.

April 9, 2004. That was an awful day few of us here will ever forget.

Sometimes it is better not to say anything at all. Your speculations serve no purpose.

Matt was taken two days after my brother returned to us. It was so closely linked, I will never forget.

I say again, there IS no evidence! It’s just a way to leave a little hope that he is alive! I don’t wish to remove all hope that he is alive! And I do not want to denigrate anybody! .................

Then please, seriously, don’t speculate. “Your son is alive, but he’s a traitor” is not much in the way of hope. I’m not trying to be a jerk (maybe I’m succeeding anyway.) Speculating in this way is not constructive or helpful.

Having read all the replies I can only say as to your "Speculation.:

All your "Speculation" does is feed and serve the above.

Please desist from any such "Speculation."

I must agree with the others that your speculation is not appropriate.
