No kidding.

Looking at our choices this November, Republican or Democrat, is this seriously the best we've got?

Bush has sent thousands of our brave soldiers to their death,maybe a little bit of this is sinking into his dark soul? We can all hope.

AJ, it wasn't just bush, it was Hillary, Kerry and many other Democratic cronies that voted for the war they want to end to appease MoveOn.org.

AJ, and to say that he "sent them to their death" is pretty stupid. I mean, come on, we've lost a lot of good men and women, but that wasn't the reason for sending them. And "dark soul"? LOL, WOW. I mean I disagree with him on MOST things, but DARK SOUL? rofl.

You guys are unreal.

I think that all our service personnel should be receiving the Medal Of Honor alive or dead. They are Heroes Plain and Simple.GOD BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM

Michael A. Monsoor

We Salute you

Thank you

This should be the Head Lines all over the nation. Not the nut cases and the political liars.

"Where are the tears for the thousands who die every month from poverty. The homeless who get no healthcare, and little food. How about the thousands who
died during Katrina. In Bush's phoney military crocodile tears,we hear the weeping of the supreme demagogue,who could care less about people,unless it's someone who has fallen during this so-called war,in which he has not one single relative involved. Put your daughters on the streets of Bahgdad, and then maybe we might believe the tears are real."

Can not improve on the quality of these words.

As a member of our military, it is disheartening that people are displaying such hatred on a blog following the story of a brave American soldier that gave his life for his teammates. Why can't you leave your political opinions at the door and utilize some of your energy to honor PO Monsoor? It is disgusting and obvious that you don't care about this hero!

I agree with Rizzo. I am honoring this fine veteran who gave his life for us. Politics have nothing to do with this article. Leave that for another forum.

Bush is not my choice for best pres ever, but he's not inhuman. Monsoor was a hero, to make this a conversation about Bush is to steal honor from this selfless man.

Some see roses, some only thorns.

Just think, all of this rhetoric would be reversed if democrat bill clinton started the war in Iraq.....

A hero.....
Unlike those who disparage his legacy on this blog. Shame on you.

No sane person likes war but fact is there are evil people out there and we need brave men and women like PO Monsoor who serve honorably and who do not determine the politics of war. It sickens me to read the foul politically motivated comments from these misguided nintendo toting loosers who only know how to be selfish and have never done a damn thing for the country except leech from it. I am a vetran and this article is not a forum for the morons to voice their politics it should only be a forum to honor a brave young SEAL.

I am ashamed of all who politicize this Sailors sacrifice. My wife, SSG Kim Voelz, died in my arms in Iraq, after an IED she was approaching to disarm, fell from its emplacement and detonated, critacilly injuring her. With me at her side, she died several hours later. PO Monsoor is a hero in the truest sense of the word. anyone who watched the ceremony can attest that the emotion expressed by the President was genuine and sincere. fools who think otherwise should go choke themselves, you disgust me.

please don't use this as a chat forum to bash the presidency. This story should not have anything to do with bush, it should be about the man that gave his life for his buddys. so please respect him and show your political indifferences somewhere else.

My son is a marine. I am part of the military family. My son along with all the military that serve have a love and sacrifice for this country that we all should stand up and recognize !!!! Many other Americans have gone before him with the same sacrifice as Monsoor did. I agree this article is about love of fellow Americans, country and sacrifice for others. What tremendous people serve. May all those who read these try to understand the kind of "shining stars" in the military unlike any of us.

I agree jake, the brave young Seal should be honoured, as should all the young men and women fighting, nobody disputes that. They should also be given care, the best of care, when returning home. But "BUSH WACKER" should cry too!

As United States Navy Sailor I am extremely proud to be among such Courageous Heroes everday. I was considering on going off on a tangent about how repulsed and disgusted I am with some of these comments, but I decided to refrain because the primary reason i joined the military is to fight for the right of citizens in our country. One of the best and most used is the freedom of speech.
God Bless the Monsoor Family.
RIP P.O. Monsoor, Your nation, regardless of political view, is thankful and proud.

"Where are the tears for the thousands who die every month from poverty. The homeless who get no healthcare, and little food. How about the thousands who
died during Katrina?..."

Dumbest comment ever. Ok commy, you gonna pay for everyone's healthcare? You will with higher taxes and socialized everything. Get educated about the issues first, then comment.Thanks to Monsoor who volunteered to defend his country and his comrades.

This absolutely makes me sick! I DO serve our fine country, I'm a United States Navy Sailor. This man gave his life for his shipmates and his country, and that ladies and gentlemen is more than most of you can say for yourselves; yet most of you can do nothing more than use this space as a battle cry for your own opinions and agenda. As a Sailor, let alone a SEAL, our shipmates ARE members of our family. I seriously doubt most of you would die for members of your own family, not to mention your co-workers! Stop desecrating this story by putting up banners to stop the war in Iraq and cute little phrases about whom to vote for. Whether you believe it or not, it is not going to matter whom is elected to be president. Give a moment of pause today to reflect on the men and women you know in uniform that protects this country's interests, instead of giving so much thought into people and politicians that never have.
