Actually more like 20/10, assuming you're quoting average US soldier deaths over any given ten day period in Iraq...

It's too bad he was there and too bad he died. It's hard to join you in feeling all smug and fuzzy over this.

Someone who believed in what they were doing died doing it. It sucks. But it's the way life is.
Why'd they send a recruiter to Iraq?
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
They'd run out of recruits?

While I agree with your statement in part, General Ludd, I think that the thread-starter was being crass and speaking in bad taste, and only due to the nature of the smilie.

Some people actually believe in defending their country, others do it to get money for college. Others, because they have nowhere else to go.
You can rail against the war all you wish, you can rail against recruiting, but the death of a person is never a good thing.
ACK!

While this isn't actually ironic at all. Flowers refusing to deploy would be ironic. At least you can use border / boarder in their correct contexts, but please stay away from more complex concepts.Originally posted by MOBIUS

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
What exactly is so sad about a recruiter getting killed? He died doing what he believed in.

It's not particularly sad. It's also not ironic.

-10/10 for being same interfering crap as always, with no substantial alternatives offered on anything.
substantial - having a firm basis in reality and being therefore important, meaningful, or considerable; "substantial equivalents".
