God bless those poor Marines and their families.

God grant the deceased eternal light and life in His kingdom and may He comfort all who mourn. Amen.

I do take pleasure in knowing you will be judged by the same methodology by which you judge

That's damned Christian of you.

Prayers and tears.

I’ll go on a rant L8R about previous budget cuts and wondering how long it will take to upgrade. Hopefully the supply companies started producing when DT won the election.

It crashed near Plaster City ... while on a routine training mission, military officials said.
No such thing as a "routine" training mission.
Semper Fi and RIP ...

That’s right, Jesus said it. Do you you think you are Jesus?

Amusing how the most sanctimonious are always the quickest to judge.

Jesus had a few things to say about that as well—Matthew 7, in case you have been too busy, throwing others behind you, to take notice.

Christians follow Jesus. Obviously, you missed the denigration on a military thread of the Commander - in - Chief, which brought forth my ire. Nothing sanctimonious about it. While I never served in uniform, I have siblings, father, and grandfathers back to George Washington that have served in the military. Plus a vast number of other relatives. It is very Christian to have righteous indignation against disrespect for the Commander - in - Chief, when none is deserved.

Rather odd to see you quote Matthew 7, when that is the very scripture I was referencing to the accuser of the Commander - in - Chief.

Do your judging and referencing as you wish.

It seems to make you feel proud and superior.

I know what I am. I know I could never bear up under such blinding judgement as yours.

Thank Goodness I don’t have to.

How dare you play on the tragedy of these fine Marines to take another pot shot at POTUS.

Your post is disgusting and does NOTHING to honor the bravery and sacrifice of these fine Marines, or their families.

You are nothing but a cheap opportunist, much like the left and what is going on with their sickening exploitation of a high school shooting, to push their sick agenda.

You should ask that your post be pulled.

God bless and keep these fine Marines, their families AND our POTUS...who happens to be doing more than ANY recent President, to protect this nation.

You sound like you would prefer HELLary as your dear leader.
