Whatever it takes.
These young men were killed in a training exercise off of camp Pendleton last week. Heard little or nothing about this.but one of our congressmen dies of old age and he’s all over the news for a solid week. Please don’t turn this into a big political argument.
Put yourself in their family shoes.Take a minute. read these young men’s names. And honor them.

Prayers to the families and friends of these soldiers.

Sadly, you’d hear far more about some Hollyweird liberal’s death than you have about these dedicated young men. What sad times we live in when society mourns the loss of an athlete or entertainer more than people sacrificing everything to protect the rest of us. Rest in peace.

It’s terrible our media and society has gone this way. As I get older and see glimpses into many Hollywood actors personal life’s i tend to watch less movies and more documentaries. No morals left to speak much of. We Still have Clint Eastwood and a handful more left.

These servicemen giving their life for us all and an elitist rapist athlete gets the media’s praise.
