So theres an email making the rounds, passing itself off as a prayer request. It lists the names of several Marines who died in Afghanistan, then goes on to excoriate President Obama for not bothering to take time out of his vacation to note their sacrifice. Problem is, those Marine deaths happened in 2010, and their sacrifice is being recycled in 2014 not to honor their service but to trash this particular President.
Some things really are just too sick for words.

What on earth could ever justify ripping open those wounds, amplifying that grief?

Some part of me thinks that if we televised all of the funerals and the ones who commit suicide after coming home, there would be no more war.
