Accidents for some reason seem to be more tragic to me than combat losses.
Im not sure why.

Probably because they were lost for nothing. My condolences to the wives and friends of those Marines. :cry:
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Your probably right. I also have a friend who is a Marine reservist so deaths occuring to Marines has some personal meaning.

Damnit, don't talk to me about death. I lost my only uncle a few days ago
and believe me, it was bad. I spent more time with him than my dad, and he was a simply great guy. I tell ya, I still cry every now and then.
So, only happy threads from now on please. But condolences to the Marines' families.

Sorry to hear that you lost an uncle Tyco. Im sorta an unoffical "uncle" now. I hope I can be a good one. I will try to find good threads from now on about stupid people hurting themselves. :)
