I laughed at the headline too, but immediately felt like crap, so I kinda care, but I have the self control of a 12 year old.

It is truly sad and unfortunate that there are those who would use that death as a forum for comedy, trolling or ridicule.

Shame on you - you know who you are.

Isn't it funny when a British solider dies. I laugh hysterically when an American dies. Oh wait a sec i don't because that's being a total dick.

/Everyone in this thread who makes a joke at the expense of this soldiers death is a douche.

Taking the piss out of soldiers being killed in the line of duty is bad even for Fark. If i want that level of razor sharp wit i can go to 4chan.

think about it this way, most of those soldiers are shiat kickin' rednecks that the world is better off without.

it's almost like winning the civil war, one cracker at a time.

Lord Summerisle A British soldier dies fighting America's enemies and becomes the butt of American jokes. No wonder you are so loved and respected around the world.

Did you survey those disresectful individuals who have been making light of this unfortunate incident to see if they were all Americans? This is a website originating from the USA, but as you probably know, the internet is international. Did you forget about the subway bombings in your country? Al Quieda and the those extremists who want to destroy the civilized world are your enemies as well. Thank god your leaders have not forgotten this but if they ever did,it would be at your peril. "Lord Summerisle" how pompous.

Oh I get it. This is liberal funny like the democrat congressman at a Friday Hearing express pleasure that the Al Qaeda can now see the face of the US government employee who has helped with the Guantanamo work. I guess the Democrat congressman was trying to outcocksucker the other democrat congressman who said he was going to rip apart child rape victims. We are so headed for hard times.

Our humor is what sets us apart from the camel jockeys. In fact, if you don't laugh at this soldiers unfortunate name and death, then the terrorists have won.
