I read about this in our Local newspaper, his brother is a Marine as well. Very sad. God Bless him and his family.

What a way to go, I'll tell ya. Lay it all on the line for your country, get given a job to train the Afghans -- and get shot in the chest by a cocksucking bastard.

These "blue on blue" ones stick with me, not that anybody that is KIA isn't important. But this type of KIA ****es me the f off.

I've been googling the Marine today to try and learn a little about him, here is a good article about him http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20120507/NEWS/305070027/West-Chester-Marine-killed-by-Taliban?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|News
