A HUGH RANT AND PISSED OFF MESSAGE....

I want to thank you for your comments they won't get seen however if they are in a post from 2 years ago! They may go unnoticed so please post comments to a recent post! THANKS
I have not had much to say lately regarding this latest deployment or the current issues in Afghanistan. I will tell you that Manuel is well as are his Marine brothers who share his space and long, hot days....

MY RANT....
I often peruse others blogs or public FB pages for news on our 2/8 or any other Marines currently serving in Afghanistan.  Today I did have the unhappy few moments of reading a post that was linked to a very gruesome news story supposedly live from the front as it happened. The article was dated:  Monday, June 6, 2011 in other words TODAY!. I won't get into the details of whom or where it was posted,  but I will tell you that it was indeed irresponsible linking and reporting......the posting first and foremost should never have happened today. This poor Marines family could have been reading what I read before they even got a call! Because names (NOT THE HARMED MARINE) were used it wouldn't be difficult to know what Battalion or unit they were discussing(SO AS A PARENT YOU WOULD BE WONDERING IF IT WERE YOUR SON).....also specific areas were mentioned. I have to tell you my stomach was lurching all over the place and I felt as though my heart had stopped. There was no warning about the graphic or explicit content so rashly and rapidly put on the Internet from the person who linked the article or the host website.  I am boycotting the person responsible for this link they will not be read by myself and I hope anyone else I know, especially other Marines Mom friends.  I am ferociously upset about this whole disgusting situation shame on you and your horrible war reporting! From a Mom who currently has a son serving his country in Afghanistan, BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH WHAT YOU WRITE, WHEN YOU POST IT AND WHETHER OR NOT THE ORIGINAL WEBSITE HAS HAD RATIONAL THOUGHT BEHIND WHAT THEY DID JUST BECAUSE ITS OUT THERE DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LINK IT OR BRAG ABOUT HAVING READ IT! Momma bear signing out.......
