DoD Identifies Marine Casualty
The Department of Defense announced today the death of a Marine who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Staff Sgt. Faoa L. Apineru, 31, of Yorba Linda, Calif., died July 2, 2007, from wounds sustained while supporting combat operations in Al Anbar province, Iraq. He was assigned to Headquarters Company, 23rd Marines, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve.
Staff Sgt. Apineru was wounded on May 15, 2005. After his death on July 2, 2007, the initial medical examiner concluded that Apineru did not die from injuries sustained during his deployment, but a subsequent opinion by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology indicated that his death was a result of his injuries sustained in Iraq.

Rep Power: 39 | | | I'm sort of waiting for someone to come in and post something along the lines of:
"Yeah, so? People die in wars. It's a war. Who gives a shit?"
I've seen such sentiments posted in the thread where people are debating the number of civilian casualties.
I guess I have to presume they'll feel the same way about the above deaths, as well. |

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.

Rep Power: 64 | | | Hmmm...let's discuss the fact that US casualties are the lowest they've been since the beginning of the war, and IRAQI CASUALTIES are down 75 percent.
Sounds to me like it's not a fruitless war, given the fact that Saddam is gone and Iraq is a much safer place to be today.
