Sorry Bonnie, not trying to be rude, just having a conversation. He died protecting American lives and what America represents. I am sorry for your loss. I am prior military as well and have seen a couple of my brothers die in front of me while serving operation Iraqi freedom on the Theodore Roosevelt. One was thrown off the side of the ship from a plane, and one I seen his head crushed by a wave hitting the side of the ship. But you have to ask yourself why are they rioting, looting and destroying businesses? Is there something we are not listening, seeing or observing? Is there something that we as a society can do to listen and learn from what they are saying? Because I am more upset at the police brutality than the rioting and looting, because if we can stop having police brutality, this rioting doesn't happen.
