As a friend of both the deceased, I wish I could find the words to communicate the disdain and dissapointment I feel for the way this page taints the death of two good men with hints of a coverup. The "discrepancy" usually stems from the fact the things are happening in a 24 time-zone world, and whether the form is filled out there, or here, can be different. I'm sure if you went to the DMV, and asked them what date you got your licence, they could choose the date you applied, the date they recorded it in the database, or the date they mailed it. Stick to commenting on things you understand, and know something about.

The amazing thing about soldiers is that they subborn their will to that of their country. I served in Iraq with these men even though I didn't agree with the war, because I know other less capable people would have to go in my place if I didn't. Abu Grhaib and My Lai is what happens when good people don't serve, less qualified people go in their place. By the same token, I would have gone to Indonesia and handed out water, or gone to berkely and planted flowers if told to do so, but the American public never understands that.

These were good men, who as the article stated "respected that uniform." Be grateful for the fact they were willing to die in your place, and let your gratitude be evident in your writing, or at least be silent.
