He was killed in Northern Iraq while acting as an advisor. Sorry to hear that. He has done a much better job for the US than any politician ever has. Rest assured in that. Stand down soldier, your job is done, we are eternally grateful for you service to this country. Condolences, thoughts and prayers for family and friends.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Another good one gone. Hanging my head in silence and offering up a prayer.

RIP. Looks like the young man could have had a relatively safe & comfortable life, but instead chose to serve his country. May God bless his soul.

John, I remember your speaking fondly about this fellow, and
know you'll miss him.
Grieve him well, and comfort his family.
RIP, Charlie
GTC Agreed. From all accounts here and in the media, C-4 was a fine man, an achiever and a great loss to the country. Quite apart from that, and nothing to do with him, he came from a rich family. His grandfather, Charles, Jr., lives on in infamy as a thorough crook for looting the Lincoln Savings & Loan empire for grandiose personal benefit. He did this through scams that cost many families and the government huge losses. Indeed, his big name law firm, Jones Day, which assisted him by issuing legal opinions that were unfounded, cost me and the entire legal profession even more when they were found out. Overnight, our malpractice insurance rates for every lawyer in the country went up 50 percent, per a report in The Wall Street Journal. So I do not remember him fondly. By coincidence, I knew many members of that law firm and actually met the writer of the legal opinions. He had been sent out to run the Tokyo branch. My guess is that they wanted him out of the country, so he would be unavailable to give evidence. People do that.

We lost another in a long line of selfless good guys. There were some accounts of the battle in which he lost his life and tears welled up listening to that . Sad Day for the country
