Hat Tip Allahuakbar
Offered in honor of those that have given more that their full share. I say more because dyeing is easy in comparison.

I give him the hat tip because he posted the site url and to show that we/I am not afraid or hiding from the reality of war. I know he post it only as propaganda and to demoralize, but we/I don't have to give him the pleasure. We/I can be proud of our brave young Men that are willing to give it all, and never run from a fight. We/I should herald them as the heroes that the are.
In the words of the immortal: Which I misquoted
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Coming around? I doubt it he's just nervous, with the new government an all he's worried and does not want to raise any eyebrows. Better safe than sorry, so I expect he'll be keeping a lower profile.
