Army Soldier Enlisted for hazardous Afghan War duty... to provide Health Care for his family. Now they have no father...

The NEO-CON & Neo-Confederate GOALS: of TURNING AMERICANS INTO PAUPERS, SERFS, and wage-slaves peons continues to reap dividends for the WAR-MONGERING, predatory finance, and loot-the-treasury Neo-Cons & Neo-Confeds: as their INTENTIONAL SABOTAGE of the American economy continues, with RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT, DECLINING WAGES, and SKYROCKETING "fixed" costs, including especially Health Insurance premiums, one American family mourns the death of that family's husband and father - a US soldier, killed in an ambush in Afghanistan, volunteered for duty there IN ORDER TO PROVIDE HEALTH-CARE for his family.
