all of you should just shoot yourself in the head
RIP, sir and thank you for your dedication and service.
deepest regret to the family, thank you for honourable service and duty
What? No 'heroes' death? Sounds like he stroked out. That simply won't do. He has to die 'heroically'.........'for 'mare-ca'.
Couldn't they just pump a couple of slugs into him and tell everyone that 'he went down fightin'
HOOAH!
