That was the accident a couple of days ago that killed nine people, seven soldiers and and two detainees.

At this time I do not know the real circumstances of what caused the roll over.

Understand. Sorry if it sounded as if I was questioning you.

I'd like to know if it was a pure accident, were they under fire when it happened, or were they travelling at high speed because it was considered a dangerous area.

A lot of reporting leaves a lot to be desired.

Karma, as in “instant karma’s going to get you”?

My prayers are with them and their families.

Despite my disagreement with these men, they were American Soldiers who ultimately sacrificed themselves in defense of a grateful nation. They did their duty, despite their disagreement with the war ... and they died with honor, and with my respect.

They were not cowardly “consciensious objectors” and did not go AWOL.

Conservatives should celebrate these men for their bravery and steadfastness despite their personal disagreement with the policies ... we should not chastize fallen Soldiers that may have disagreed with our stance on national security.

Interesting. Were they all in the same unit? How did they come to know each other?

No I did not think you were questioning me I too was puzzled by the number of deaths and injuries from a simple roll-over. But, that is all the information that the military have released.
