Once again, the MSM has identified one of our fallen, DESPITE no official identification, and in fact going agaisn't the wishes of the family.

The next of kin have been advised but at the request of the family, the name of the soldier is being withheld.

Whoever chose to identify him, imho, can burn in hell.

Regardless, RIP, Soldier.

Another sad day.

WRT the media leaking this one... Shame on them, no respect, its just sensationalism at its worst.

In many ways the media is our real enemy

Before you get all crazy on us MSM types ...  DND has now released the name and a photo of the soldier:

As for the time discrepancy, DND likely identified the individual to a CP reporter in Kandahar and we, like most other news organizations, carried the CP story filed from the field.

Folks,
David Akin is reading this thread as I type. Please lets keep the media's part in this for another day at least out of respect for the family.

Thank you,
Bruce


EDIT: Just a second too slow. Thanks David.

My above still stands folks, lets just have a toast to our fallen instead this evening.

RIP Tropper
