ReplyDeleteThe good ones are dying and the bad ones are running the country. It ain't right.
ReplyDeleteIn the end the bad ones will pay. Let God be their judge.
DeleteSo young and so sad. And why? because people in the middle east just don't seem to know how to play nice. RIP, thoughts and prayers to his family.
ReplyDeleteSmythe has it right. The best the country has to offer go off to the wars. When we lose them, they don't come back and their talents are lost to the country.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will do an update soon. I keep swinging by your blog because it's interesting.
