Today, 31 troops were killed in Afghanistan when the Taliban shot down their helicopter. 20+ of them were part of Navy SEAL Team Six, which was the unit that killed Osama bin Laden. 28 of the 31 were special forces.
Before this happened, soldier deaths that appeared on the news did not really affect me. To me, it was just a number. But 31 people....that's unfathomable. I'm praying for them. And I know that posting about it on a blog/Facebook/deviantART doesn't do anything to help. But I'm not old enough to sign up yet.
oh yeah, and the USA officially sucks. We have a double-A rating now? Oh, great. Excuse me while I start packing.
