On behalf of all veterans I send our deepest condolences to the family of Nick Olivas. RIP Soldier.

How sad that yet another young life is taken during a "war" that we shouldn't have been in to begin with! Bless all our service men/women, their families & friends! WAR ISN'T THE ANSWER! Our government needs to be overhauled!

Screw politics! This young man died in a war zone and leaves behind a family gieving over his loss. Afghanistan is a tribal sand pit and once again, as in Vietnam, America thought they could rush in and do what others were unable to do. How arrogant we can be - sometimes letting these places implode would save American lives and if the citizens of these demonic hellholes want change and rights, let THEM fight for it. I am sick of it!

There aren't enough prayers to help this. We got who we went after for 911! There will never be rest in the Middle East. Why is it American's must sacrifice more of our young for this endeavor? I'm sick of hearing we had the gulf war to prevent higher gas prices...it went up anyways!...still going up because of what this week? Iraq? Sadam? We provided this sorry a$$ the weapons and fire power...ask Oliver North. So, we are in Afghanistan! Pakistan...where Osama bin whatever was living in moderate comfort. American's have paid this little 3rd world country how much? I'm done! Pull our troups out! Enough! Our troups need to be home protecting home! RIP young man! I have prayers for your family, and I weap for this loss of a wonderful young man with so much promise ahead.

Liberals demanded the wars be ended when Bush was in power, but once they got their guy Obama in power, they clammed up and let him become a warmonger. This shows what weasels and hypocrites they are. Anyone who is stupid enough to vote for Obama again, is nothing but a weasel and a turd.

Nick was a great guy and always had a smile for everyone at work. Prayers go to his family, friends and fellow soldiers.

RIP

rest in peace, hero.

My heart goes out to the Family of Nicholas. Prayers are with you!

Rest Warrior your duty will always be remembered as you will be remembered as a hero. Prayers to the Olivas family. 311
