Normal people would feel gratitude. Those who do feel guilty try to blow smoke and mirrors with snotty remarks on a memorial thread. If anyone should feel guilty it is those who let others carry their water while they go to the mall, movies, clubs and/or make a hobby of bitching and whining and crying.

The ones who should feel guilty about this brave man’s death are those that sent him there and kept him there.

You're posting on the wrong forum, noob, but then you knew that or you wouldn't have posted it. You'ld fit right in on the looney left forums but then you know that too.

You can see both his and his wife’s MySpace page.

This just breaks my heart.

Apparently aefields did not read Sgt Jeffers writings, or they would realize what an disrespectful and stupid statement that was.
God bless Sgt Jeffers family and give them strength and hope during this most difficult time.
God bless all our troops and give them strength to weather those who are determined to tear down their morale and to know how many are behind them.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

—John Stuart Mill

God bless you and your family, Sgt. Jeffers.

Thank you for protecting my family.

Freema, amen, amen, AMEN. You are so very correct. The people who toss their opinions out the furthest are the ones that have NO CLUE.

God Bless Sgt. Jeffers....making sacrifices every SINGLE MOMENT he was in the service and then for making the Ultimate Sacrifice. There are no finer men than those that serve and Sgt. Jeffers was certainly one of our very special HEROES.

can you or anyone confirm that is his MySpace page?

It’s his. Read through the messages-reference to Jeffers.

Excellent piece that each and every American should read and ponder - even those leftists who wish for our defeat.
