FOR A FALSE AND FAILED MISSION? HIS MISSION WAS TO SERVE NEXT TO HIS BROTHERS REGUARDLESS OF THE REASON. WE ARENT POLITICIANS, WE FIGHT FOR EACHOTHER. BUT ONLY A SOLDIER WOULD KNOW THAT. DONT SLIP POLITICS OR WAR PROTESTS INTO A PRAYER OR CONDOLENCES. NO MAN KNOWS GODS INTENTIONS. BUT I DO FEEL FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY. IT'S ONLY HUMAN TO FEEL PAIN AND MOURN. REST IN PEACE BROTHER

God Rest his soul and Bless his family from their suffering. Although I did not know him personally, his willingness to serve our country is apparent. His mission was ill-conceived by his CINC, but he carried out his orders with evident distinction and valor. Like so many other young people, his sacrifice was at too young an age, for a false and failed mission, yet he carried out the duties required of him. God Bless.
