A lot of good people out there looking out for our interests.

Sorry to hear about incidents like this.

My thoughts are with these people.

That is a very unusual picture. I never saw one juxtaposed to a c-130. Big aircraft.

The Marines don’t play around with their stuff, they use it like they intend to fight it.

From what my son relates to me, safety is the watchword in training. Yet, they must train as realistically as they fight, which entails high risk.

I think the Marines all understand it. It is part and parcel of the sacrifice; not just the ultimate sacrifice, but the daily sacrifice - living with the possibility ever before them.

Makes my heart swell with pride for every one of them.

Would Recon and SEALs be on a training mission like this?

You and I are blood brothers on that.

I have a deep respect for our people in the armed forces.

May we always be a country that deserves their trust and service.

Thanks Don-O.

I respect the folks that can disagree with me and put it aside for other very important matters.

Take care.

Every good wish for your son.

Yes, sadly so. This will be tough on the families.

It once again reminds us of the sacrifice of our fellow citizens, and the need to support them and their families.
