I guess I have to presume they'll feel the same way about the above deaths, as well.
This is my 6-7th board where I post the names of our soldiers who have died in this fruitless war. and I have seen all types of responses. From congratulatory to outright hatred for posting these names. they think I'm desecrating them. I've been threatened with physical violence, (kinda hard on the web) and legal action.

I guess they don;t realize that these are news releases from the DoD. I do not edit in any way. but I find it strange that supposed americans rail against free speech and the desemination of information.
