Thieves Take Flags Honoring Dead Veteran
Advertisements [?]
"Thieves targeted a widow when she was most vulnerable, just days after her husband passed away. They stole a pair of flags flying at half staff to honor the U.S. Marine Corps veteran."

What's even more sad than that are the few people here that will somehow find humor/satire in it.
Small thread but some interesting comments...

5. Unfortunately, there are
In my 7 years of regularly visiting this site, only 4 people were so ignorant that I put them on ignore. Yesterday something happened which I added 8 people to that list.
Those people are the kind that if they see someone walk on water, he/she would likely say "oh look...he can't swim"!
Thank you for not being in that group. A fallen Veteran is deserving of respect, not satire.
That touched a nerve so some covering of the litterbox is in order.

4. Who are the people here who will find humor/satire in this?
I find more support of our troops here than on almost any other discussion board.
Do you know something I don't? Who are these DUers who think this is funny? Please post a link.
That is beyond funny as the minions of DU piss on the troops any chance they get.

7. Thanks for this post
Your last line, though, is unfortunate. Did you do that as an anticipatory strike? If so, it was ill-conceived and really detracted from this sad story.
One of your own was acknowledging what you all are trying to deny.
That someone felt compelled to do so pretty much sums up your website and the content within.
