    RIP LCpl Joshua "MD" Whittle

    I went to high school with this kid. He graduated a year after me. I never spoke to him, but I remember seeing him at school. From what I hear, he was hit by a land mine.

    I have friends and family who are going to Afghanistan in the near future...

    God Bless Josh and everyone who is out there serving our country!

                  He died an honorable death.

                  I am for ever grateful for his service.

                  I pray his family will soon be comforted in his passing,

                                  I disagree. There is no honor is death. It is a cold, lifeless, and painful experience for everyone and anyone to encounter.

                                  Living a fruitful, humble life is honorable and I believe LCpl Whittle did just that.
