I'm sorry, but let's be real. NOBODY but their family and closest of friends "are going to keep them in their thoughts and prayers tonight." They are all one more number in this senseless slaughter...for nothing more than oil and the stubborn pride of a criminal administration.

I'm tired of pretending to feel the pain of each death. We don't even acknowledge their deaths until there is something "unusual", like a dozen charred, unrecognizable remnants in one coffin. We don't sacrifice ANYTHING....and they died for nothing. Get a grip America. I am so sick of all this needless dying. When will these responsible pay for their crimes???

If you think putting a pin on your lapel or a magnetic ribbon on your car demonstrates how you suffer pain and memory of these needless dying, you are a bigger hypocrite than all these other neocons put together. At least THEY know it's only a joke.

over a completely needless war.
As Americans we are kept at a distance from even knowing we're at war. I keep telling myself that only the crazy 11% of the population want this war but why are WE going down with them? Why can't we stop them? What's going on here? It's beyond frustrating.

I appreciate the film though because it reveals 12 soldiers being buried in one casket. The soldiers couldn't be separated and there were so few remains. This was a large highly respectful service because, if you think about it, what else can you do for the 12 men? You want to give something to them to show them they had value & meaning. They gave the biggest thing they could give - their lives. Polishing buttons, hats & shoes - that's all they CAN give to these men.
