Death of the 3rd female soldier in Iraq; a gunshot wound to the head.

[alcuno]

She died on 9/15 of a non-combat gunshot wound to the head. Like Lori Piestawa, she was from Arizona.

1. What the hell is a "non-combat shot wound to the head"???

It's all a bunch of bullshyte!

I'm sorry for her and her family and friends!

How many more ..troops?

3. We had a guy do that in our unit...

He wanted to go home- It was simple.

So one day he snuck a round off the range and went behind the nearest latreen- blew the top of his head off.

The BC came down and gave us a long speech about 'committment'. That was a bad day.

7. Not Necessarily Suicide

With so many troops, and so many rifles, there's bound to be a few accidents. It's easy to forget there's a round in the chamber. Shit happens.

10. They gave a number of possible scenarios.

"Rudd and other Army officials said that a number of possible scenarios are being considered, including Rudd's own weapon discharging, the weapon of another soldier discharging or the accidental shooting of Peterson by an Iraqi civilian."

4. Good Grief!

This is terrible.

And Bush hasn't attended one single soldier's funeral. What a guy, huh?

5. Didn't Bush* dodge a funeral in DC to go play golf?

That was in last weeks breaking news, how everyone was upset because he missed it to go play golf- the guy had been a NG Soldier.

11. And we cannot see one coffin returning to Dover.

Might embarrass the Little Turd from Crawford. It's all about him.

6. We need to bring our children home now

My heart goes out to her family and friends.
