Reading accounts of the situation, it does seem like a horrible accident. It’s hard to tell anymore. I know people here are upset that some of us went for the “blame the mother” approach, but how can you blame us. It isn’t like those things don’t happen all the time. I can call to mind about 10 cases right off the top of my head that originally had me thinking “Oh that poor woman” only to find out withing a few days that the woman was to blame. It’s made me cynical, I’m sorry. It doesn’t help that the first article had loads of extra crap in it that was intentionally going for the “Kleenex” effect. It seemed like the writer was trying to hard to convince.

She was just coming home from picking up his death benefits...his mother said “He didn’t want to go to Iraq”... He never saw the sonogram...

I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions, and I’m donning the flameproof attire, but it still sounds fishy to me.

That doesn’t mean I won’t pray for them. I especially want to offer them for his brother. That man’s words tore my heart out.
