God Really Messed up with this One

Somebody needs to sit God down and have a talk with him because he wasn't very nice to Pfc. Brett Walton. Walton was killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad after having been in Iraq less than a month. At the age of 37, he left his wife and 5-year-old daughter to volunteer for the war because he believed God told him to do it. Walton was a good man and a good representative of the United States. Immediately upon arriving in Iraq, he began showing his concern for the Iraqi children and doing good works. It was downright awful of God to take a man like that away from a family who needed him and then not even allow him to do the good things he could have done for our country and for Iraq while he was there.

Dislcaimer: I sincerely apologize to anyone who is offended by my lack of belief that God actually sent Pfc. Walton to Iraq, as well as my unwillingness to accept the rationalization that God moves in mysterious ways, and to anyone who views my opportunistic commentary on conceptualizations of God as tasteless. This post is not intended to denigrate Pfc. Walton, whom I respect as a brave and dedicated American patriot, for believing otherwise.
