#1 Rest in peace, gentlemen, with our thanks. You've done your share to keep the civilized world safe. May that knowledge be of some comfort to those you left behind.

#2 The Estonians in Iraq are called "the Stone Platoon", and for good reason. They are kicking serious butt.

#3 RIP, indeed.

Those most recently freed from tyranny have been on the front lines of this conflict all along. True allies, IMO.

#4 It's a shame that men who come to Afghanistan to help make life better for everyone by removing mines planted over 28 years of fighting are killed by those whose only goal is to keep the Afghan population in bondage. God has a special place for men like these Estonian soldiers, and a far less hospitable place for the perps that killed them.
