    In November 2004, Iraqi insurgents ambushed Army Maj. D.J. Skelton's platoon during the second battle of Fallujah. Two rocket propelled grenades hit the concrete next to him. A fragment destroyed the roof of his mouth and exited his left eye. https://n.pr/2N8RtqV pic.twitter.com/ZmAm5KKsc3

        Same way black men who get shot by cops "shouldn't have broken the law"? Show some compassion brother, life isn't as easy for many as it is for you

        That’s not at all comparable, ya doofus. And I’ll show as much compassion to them as they showed to the millions of innocent Iraqis they slaughtered.

        It was a war built on lies, and anyone paying attention knew it. BTW, I'm poor and my daughter is a lesbian. Stop making stupid assumptions, eh?

        Wow. That was a very powerful account of what this man has endured. I wonder if a 3D printer could build Maj. Skeleton a palate? I will keep him and his family in my prayers and please accept my sincere gratitude for your sacrifice to keep us all safe.

        A pointless loss, all of that just so the wealthy could make billions in oil and military contracts. Nothing heroic about it. Just sad.
