        I feel sorry for the parents. I can't imagine the pain that they are in from burying two of their children.

        overuse of the word "heroes".... and sadly, they were badly used & abused by govt at the time to pursue a bogus agenda....

        Rural? What about the minority, the islanders ? And the GOP started the war.

        Small town roots aren't the important part of this story. It's our gov failing to do the one thing it must do right-help those who've served

        I agree the government should do more but at the same time, they were offered help numerous time. There is only so much that the govt can do

        Yeah, maybe. These men were asked to give their all and did. And Gov bends over backwards for so many that are less-deserving... just sucks

        I agree, if anyone deserved help it was them. They seen military doctors but if their not honest with them there is nothing they could do /1

        Rural America has always overly provided the loyal men of this nation. The leftist elites live far away from these areas.

        Then how do you explain urban South Boston having some of the highest enlistment and casualty rates in Vietnam? Keep believing your fallacy

        The article is stating that it recent wars it's the rural areas that have been the hardest hit with military deaths

        We have young men dead in the needless Iraq war from suburbs all over Boston and from the city. Don't make it sound like this is a rural war

        It isn't - it is a discussion of how rural Americans step up in bigger numbers from a percentage perspective and put themselves on the line
