cause they died young doin dumb shit
More of that context stuff I was talking about in the previous post:
Cpl. Travis Friedrichsen, who returned from Iraq in September, soon began to shake uncontrollably while sitting in bed, recalling a bomb that exploded just feet away. Friedrichsen, age 21 and married, now has trouble controlling his temper, "exploding into tirades that he says have gone on for an entire weekend," according to the Chicago Tribune.
Those who equate "supporting our troops" with supporting the war should think again. Shortly before he died in Iraq last month, 28-year-old Marine Staff Sgt. Russell Slay wrote a farewell letter to his family. He told his 5-year-old son to "stay away from the military. I mean it."
According to the Army News Service Survey in March, fully 72 percent of the soldiers said their unit morale was low. In September, a Marine infantryman put it more bluntly to the Christian Science Monitor, "We shouldn't be here. There was no reason for invading this country in the first place...I don't enjoy killing women and children. It's not my thing."
