That is a separate endeavor that involves deeper inquiry. I do not support the author’s politically inspired false premise that broadly associates military service with depravity and the murder of innocents. Perhaps I have misunderstood your response which also appears to presume that fallen men and women who served are associated with the death of others. Certainly, you understand that not all members of our military participate in combat operations. We lost four servicemen in non-combat operations earlier this month; three in the crash of an Osprey aircraft off the Queensland coastline and one from a random falling tree.

Perhaps our humanity should inform us to withhold preconceived judgments of the fallen soldier who owes no debt from the soil beneath an engraved stone.
