R.I.P. Guys.

A post was entered on Wednesday titled R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor.

Nothing wrong with that of course but I have just read that two more young lives have been unnecessarily lost in Afghanistan.

It makes one wonder if we have our priorities right, on one hand a 79 year old actress dies of natural causes, and on the other hand two young lives have been cut short only one week before they due to return home to their loved ones, yet I don't suppose anyone would have left a tribute to these two Irish Guards, if I hadn't bothered.

It make one think, or at least it should.

My heart felt feelings go out to their families and friends, and may these brave boys rest in peace.

Whilst I also understand your sentiments AOG I personally feel that paying tribute to these soldiers on this site, which will attract comments that may extend to whether we should be there in the first place potentially disrespectful. If it was one of my family I don't think I'd want to read tributes on AB however well meaning.

Why don't you just try and grow up, instead of trying in your childish way to try and turn other posters against me.

But I think you have failed on this one judging by some of the more adult responses that have been shown over this sensitive issue.
