Tulsi Gabbard may have lost interest in even talking about the Iraq War in the debates last month but the Iraq War does continue. It claims lives every day -- Iraqi lives so it's 'over there' and the media works hard to make sure that no one cares.
On behalf of the commander and the command, we offer our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Gunnery Sgt. Scott A. Koppenhafer, 35, a critical skills operator with 2nd Marine Raider Battalion who suffered fatal wounds during combat operations Aug. 10.
Take a moment today to remember Gunnery Sgt. Scott A. Koppenhafer who was killed Aug. 10 in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense offers our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and fellow Marines.

It's a shame that Tulsi refused to call for an end to the endless wars or to attack the lies and liars who started it. Instead, she played dumb in the debate and then spent the following days defending War Hawk Joe Biden.
Neither Tulsi nor Joe bothered to Tweet about the death. They apparently believe that if they ignore it, it just didn't happen. Like the late Barbara Bush, they don't want actual deaths to mar their "beautiful mind."
Joe's running for president and thinks he can blame his Iraq War cheerleading and support on Bully Boy Bush tricking him -- if he's that stupid, he shouldn't be president. He started the war and he didn't work to end it. It has continued. He was a US senator when it started, he went on to become a US vice president for eight years, and he did not end the Iraq War.
What you gonna' do now, Joe? Tell us you've got a plan -- finally -- to end the Iraq War?
No one should be dying in the Iraq War. It should have ended forever ago.
