Cpl. T.J. Conrad, who grew up in the Roanoke Valley and graduated from Northside High School, was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, his father said this afternoon.
Conrad, 22, was one of two American troops who was shot and killed by a man wearing Afghan military or police fatigues during a protest over the burning of Qurans on a U.S. air base, according to Tim Conrad.
It was basically an ambush, said Tim Conrad.
T.J. Conrad leaves behind a wife and 7-month-old son.

Oh, damn....
God bless the family...
RIP.
Prayers for his family and friends.
Genesis chapter 16: verses 11-12 they fulfill the blessing even today.the seed of Ishmael has produced wild men whose hand is against everybody and who finds every mans hand against them.
Islam is Not now-nor has it ever been compliant with Western civilization. These “animals” do what they are told in their Mosques-by their Imams-it is their “culture” and I agree we ought withdraw and redeploy to contain Islam to those places it now controls -and let them slay one anther until their bloody moon god is satiated by the blood of the slaves of Islam.
Well said.
We need to get out of there. We need to suspend all financial assistance to ALL ISLAMIC countries. We need to put all American corporate entities dealing with these countries on notice letting them know they are dealing in an environment that is too hostile at this time and America’s treasure will not be spent in the pursuit of their own gain. We need to read these countires the riot act and say, “Unless you police your own, obliterate the terrorist cells, the Wahabi schools, etc. we have to assume you support them. If you support them then you are our enemy, too.” Then we need to re-tool, wait for another act of aggression (sorry to say, on American soil) and then go ALL IN and begin dealing with these Islamic nations the way they should have always been dealt with.
Finally, we need to put all those Islamic-Americans residing in our own country who have been all too willing to remain silent, “How come? How come you have not come out and lectured your own people about their barbarism, about their extreme indifference to the suffereings of THEIR OWN PEOPLE that THEY have brought upon the Islamic world? How come you have not marched in America’s streets demanding that Pakistan hand over all Talibanistas/all terrorists? How come you have not marched on Washington to demand President Obama stop placating Islamic nations with a wink and a nod approach to diplomacy?” Does this particular brand of silence suggest anything to non-Islamic-Americans about, the possibility that our fellow countrymen might be in support of the “radical” form of Islamic extremism practiced by our enemies (would that not mean these “citizens” are also our enemeies?) World-wide, the silence of those Islamists opposed to these “terrorists” is deafening. One could almost be lead to believe their unwillingness to stand up to their own “brothers and sisters in Islam” is the final approval that leads to the barbarism we’ve been witnessing the past few decades.
Alas, none of this will ever occur. We will continue to “reach out” with the doctrine of precious liberty we believe all people thirst for (Do they really? Doesn’t the Islamist really want to remove your liberty [or your head—take your pick] from you? Does the socialist really thirst for liberty? Or does he thirst for the control/suppression of the liberty of others?) We will continue to play this fool’s game, continue to sacrifice young, precious lives until we have the moral strength to recognize an enemy when we see it, shout, “fanatic” when it is on display, and apply fitting appellations (religion of death, not the religion of peace) when appropriate.
The only solution may be to carpet bomb them off the face of this earth. Better them than us.
A brother brought forth these verses the other night. They speak of the nations raging against God and His people:
Psa 83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psa 83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
Psa 83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psa 83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psa 83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Psa 83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Psa 83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
Until we realize we are up against this brand of zealotry, we are doomed to fight a losing battle. We use diplomacy...they use deception. We use peace...they use the sword. We use compassion...they use brutality. The Islamist is bent on destroying God’s people. Period. Nothing less.
Fortunately, we know who wins this war.
Amen -brother.
Thank you. And thank you for pointing out why the Korans needed burning. I wonder, with the murders of two additional soldiers this morning, why President POS hasn’t issued yet another apology. Is he ill? Has the cat got his tongue?
Maybe he's FINALLY waking up to the reality of these murderous people that he's in bed with.
Oh, who am I kidding...
