This SHOULD be front-page news...

Apparently booby traps don't count as "in the face of the enemy".

They do in my book.
Lance Cpl Matthew Croucher is as much of a hero as PO2 Mike Monsoor is. Thanks for linking to that story.

Uhm.... You want this story on the front page? Do you hate him, or something?

Seriously, you want someone/something you admire on a front page next to "CELEBRITY: I was NARCOTICS-JAILED after BOOB-SEX!"*....?

*actual front page story I saw a few days ago...

No, the celebrity stories should be relegated to the last page. The fact that celebrity scandals take higher precedence in the news makes me sick.

Why ?

Because I obviously hold my brothers and sisters in combat in much higher regard than you do. I'd dive on a grenade in half a heartbeat if it meant preserving the life of even just one of my comrades. I doubt you would have the intestinal fortitude to do that for one of your countrymen.

Take your conspiracy theories
