My prayers for all the Mikes and Chrises in this world, may they somehow be healed, and not by their own hand.

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

well propaganda was really effective....none of the elites' sons went & ...isn't that all that counts? peasants fight, the elites sit tight
-
Well it is a volunteer army. These guys weren't drafted. They're true heroes.
-
overuse of the word "heroes".... and sadly, they were badly used & abused by govt at the time to pursue a bogus agenda....

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
