If it is true, scriber,
it is a strong statement.  And, truthfully, no one knows another's true state of mind, but from most indications, this man was unsettled by the thought of going back to Iraq.

The headline for this post is somewhat misleading in that it was not
proven and can't be proven his actions were to stay out of Iraq.  I doubt if anyone would commit suicide to keep from a possible involvement in Iraq. I'm not in favor of what is taking place with Iraq and the U.S. but this sort of headline I does not do anyone a service.

Not only our people, Ariala,
but hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis also.  I know all about collateral damage, but this is a bit much, especially in Iraq.  It needs to end, but, unfortunately, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

He has sacrificed more than enough of our people, that's for sure. How
very sad about this young soldier.  I would have run for the hills myself...
