What are we doing?

A father who had just been told by the Marines that his son was killed in Iraq picked up a can of gasoline, broke into the Marines' van, and set it and himself ablaze.



Without even a hint of irony, one of the Marines said, "We have not seen this type of reaction. Every reaction is negative; it's the loss of a loved one. I don't think any of us are qualified to go into the depths of the mind and truly anticipate how somebody is going to react."



Do you suppose that Marine has ever stopped to ponder how any of families of the 13,695 Iraqis killed so far have reacted ?
