Too many members of my family have been in Iraq (now counting 6 and expecting a 7th) 5 Have made it back unscathed so far, my Cousin is serving with the 1st Armoured "Hussars" outside of Basrah, the 7th (my older brother) is going to Kuwait (thankfully) as a Staff Sargeant in the 321st Logistics Battalion.

I imagine since anyone who might feel the need to score cheap points might cause real hurt and upset.

First off there is a new law in town. Now which simley sums that up nah soly pawns or is that porns me? er thats more Kukri um Voight is the anger shaman arr no Jag, umm bugger no too broke back. Maybe one of these . Hmm okay I'll settle for this one .

Really no new law at all, it is expected that the backroom is to be more robust and that the arguements to be more hard. However that does not mean that the forum rules are totally ignored. So this thread is a condolences only one, if you wish to make political comments about the situation please start a separate thread.

Let's not turn this into a flame thread ... this is about a dead soldirer, not about war.

Anyway, the definition of the armed forces is that they serve to protect, primarily ... therefore, they are protectors.
