He is dead no doubt about that. Bill does a good job in raising interest on a wide variety of subjects.
This business about he is a hero simply because he fought for America is little more than nonsense.
Also I don't subscribe to the idea that its Gods Will, or that one goes to heaven or hell or anywhere
else. I went through that stuff as a kid, and I bin there done that. Religion has its place for those who
want to believe everything literally. The place is their private business, and as long as they don't try
to take control of my government and push their beliefs down my throat fine.
The problem is, there are all kinds of people who are working to do just that. They insist that if you
don't believe what they believe, you are a commie, or you're going to hell or what ever.
Most don't even clue in they are behaving like those we are fighting, in the Middle East the essence
of this particular story. The Taliban, want to force people to believe what they believe. Name calling,
infidels, is the prime one for Muslims, among other things. Christians tend to say you are going to hell,
you are a commie or a fag, or whatever insult they feel is appropriate. To me a tyrant is a tyrant no
matter what label they wear. I have my own beliefs and I really don't care what someone who needs
to have something bigger than himself thinks. The soldier in question was killed by his own and they
tried to cover it up, and they will use God or anyone else to accomplish their ends and some people
just can't handle that.
