A 24-year-old guardsman in Waukesha, Wis., allegedly shot dead “his best friend,” a 23-year-old Marine Corps veteran, after the two argued during a night of drinking, according to local police.
Steven P. Osburn Jr., a specialist with the Wisconsin National Guard, was charged with intentional homicide in the Aug. 6 death of Zachary S. Gallenberg, formerly a Hawaii-based Marine corporal.
Police said Osburn shot Gallenberg in the chest outside Osburn’s home, where police discovered him bleeding and unresponsive. The first-degree intentional homicide charge can carry a life sentence. Osburn was being held in lieu of $500,000 bond at the Waukesha County Jail as of Aug. 18.

Georgia girl who doesn't feel pain helps researchers
Georgia girl who doesn't feel pain helps researchers understand condition

PATTERSON, Ga. - Ashlyn Blocker didn't cry when she was born.
A severe diaper rash when she was 2 weeks old didn't faze her. She never fussed when she was hungry, so her parents had to remind themselves to feed her every two hours. At 6 months, she laughed and cooed as a nurse administered stinging drops to dilate her eyes.
Doctors found that Ashlyn had a one-in-a-billion condition: She couldn't feel pain. And unlike most people in medical literature with a documented insensitivity to pain, she was otherwise normal and healthy.
It sounds like a gift. Imagine never having to worry about the discomfort of paper cuts, skinned knees or going to the dentist.
However, being immune to pain is also a curse, both physiologically and philosophically.
You wouldn't know if you were getting too hot or too cold. A sudden medical emergency like a heart attack or appendicitis might go unnoticed until it was too late. And how would you ever feel empathy for the suffering of others if you had never suffered yourself?

ST. AUGUSTINE — The details of how an elementary school teacher’s body was decapitated and dismembered have rattled even St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar, a 30-year law enforcement veteran.
“This is probably one of the most heinous crimes that I have been involved in,” he said Friday.
Shoar announced new details about the death of 48-year-old Jan Dunn Keller, whose funeral will be today in Putnam County where she grew up and taught.
Her boyfriend, Timothy Dale Rose, 51, has been charged with murder. He told investigators he last saw Keller leaving a St. Augustine Beach restaurant Sunday. The two lived together at a home on Enon Court in St. Augustine.

Joy and tears greet US Army troops back from Iraq
Joy and tears greet US Army troops back from Iraq
By Dan De Luce (AFP)
WASHINGTON — Mothers cried and children squealed with delight as a company of US troops arrived back from Iraq on Saturday, after a year-long tour marked by desert heat and monotony.
A crowd of families roared as 124 soldiers from Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, arrived marching in formation, part of a wave of homecomings as President Barack Obama scales back the US role in Iraq.
The welcoming ceremony at Fort Myer, outside Washington, was a joyous event for the soldiers and their loved ones after 12 months of separation, even if the legacy of the US invasion of Iraq remains a subject of bitter debate at home and abroad.
"It has been a very long year," said a tearful Charlotte Thompson, whose 25-year-old son had volunteered for the Iraq assignment.
The unit spent most of its time guarding a prison with about 300 Iraqi detainees in Taji, and carried out combat patrols as well, officers said.

AWOL soldier shot dead after Dad says Army failed him
Dad: GI shot dead seemed happy, Army failed him

There was something different about Brandon Barrett when he came home from Army basic training in early 2007.
Bill Barrett had always been proud of his son. But now, the Marine Corps veteran noticed, “Brandon held himself higher. Joining the Army was a life-changing experience for him. It was a good change.”
But Bill Barrett now fears that his son’s experiences at war brought on another change — something deeper, something darker.
Something deadly.
The younger Barrett, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, was wearing full battle gear and carrying a loaded rifle when a police officer confronted him in downtown Salt Lake City on Friday afternoon. A police spokeswoman said Barrett opened fire, striking the officer in the leg. The officer returned fire, killing the 28-year-old soldier, whose bloodied body fell in a patch of grass behind the Grand America Hotel, near one of the city’s busiest intersections.
According to military records, Brandon Barrett served in Afghanistan as part of the NATO-led International Security Force from July 2009 to June 2010, a member of the Army’s 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment.

7 US troops killed in latest Afghanistan fighting
7 US troops killed in latest Afghanistan fighting
By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN (AP)
KABUL, Afghanistan — Seven U.S. troops have died in weekend attacks in Afghanistan's embattled southern and eastern regions, NATO said Sunday.
Two servicemen died in bombings Sunday in southern Afghanistan, while two others were killed in a bomb attack in the south on Saturday and three in fighting in the east the same day, NATO said. Their identities and other details were being withheld until relatives could be notified.
The latest deaths bring to 42 the number of American forces who have died this month in Afghanistan after July's high of 66. A total of 62 international forces have died in the country this month, including seven British troops.
Fighting is intensifying with the addition of 30,000 U.S. troops to bring the total number of international forces in Afghanistan to 120,000 — 100,000 of them American. Most of those new troops have been assigned to the southern insurgent strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces where major battles are fought almost daily as part of a gathering drive to push out the Taliban.

600 Patriot Guard Riders stood vigil for Staff Sgt. Michael Bock
Staff Sgt. Michael Bock, 26, who died August 13 in Afghanistan's Helmand province
He should be the focus of this story. He was killed serving this country. He didn't serve Afghanistan. He died there. He served the United States of America. He served with his brothers and sisters, his military family just as much as he served for his family and friends back home. The nation borrowed him for a time but he was their's first and they will remember him, mourn the loss of him, visit his grave and grieve for him as Michael Bock.
The incident occurred during the funeral and while nearly 600 members of the Patriot Guard Riders ringed the church and stood vigil, the group's state leader said.
Scott Knudsen, Patriot Guard Riders captain for Nebraska, said no members of the Patriot Guard had any interaction with the church members or counter-protesters, which he numbered Saturday at about 12.
"We don't get close to them," Knudsen said of the Westboro members. "We have our backs to them."
Patriot Guard members, who come when they are invited by families, shield families from distraction, Knudsen said.
"We don't condone counter-protesters," said Knudsen, adding he was troubled by Saturday's incident.
"It's inappropriate," he said. "It's a funeral service."
The 600 riders of the Patriot Guard came to honor his life as well as stand as a barrier between the protestors of the Westboro group. (Sorry but I have a hard time calling them a church with the way they act.) On short notice, they plan to give up plans they had ahead of time, make the ride or the drive to these funerals and face whatever the weather brings. In the freezing cold, rain, snow or sweltering heat, they stand guard to protect the family and friends as much as possible. Imagine how heartbreaking it is to have to bury a young member of your family and then be greeted by signs saying someone is thanking God for IED and praising Him for blowing up the troops. That's no god I know. It can't be the same God who sent Christ to tell us how much He loved us or the same one telling us that we needed to love each other. The Patriot Guard Riders formed for this mission as soon as the Westboro group decided to invade and attack mourners at a funeral.
Protestors and counter protestors will keep going on as long as the Supreme Court refuses to stop this. Free speech does need to be protected but since when does someone's free speech rights demand anyone has to listen to them, see them or be attacked by them?
If people want to protest no one is stopping them but the point here is that the family has no choice. They get to decide what color the casket should be. They get to decide what funeral home will conduct it, what church to hold the service in or to have no religious service at all, when to have it and what flowers to order. They get to decide what cemetery they visit. They have to be there with the other family members and friends to comfort each other but the Westboro group does not have to be there. They can go some place else but they want the publicity. Why the hell should the Supreme Court defend their right to publicize hatred to a captive audience?
Should someone in the Westboro group pass away, would it be ok with them if family members of the fallen showed up to protest at the funeral for one of their own? Can they hold up signs saying "Thank God for sending this one back to hell?" Would it be ok with them for someone to shout out about God's judgement and vengeance? How would they feel if someone shouted out that the person they loved deserved to die?
Man fires pepper spray on protesters outside Marine's funeral

(CNN) -- A motorist fired pepper spray Saturday at a group of demonstrators and counter-protesters outside a funeral for a U.S. Marine in Omaha, Nebraska, police said.
The incident occurred shortly before 10 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) as members of a small Kansas church that protests at military funerals and counter-protesters stood nearly a block away from First United Methodist Church during services for Staff Sgt. Michael Bock, 26, who died August 13 in Afghanistan's Helmand province.
A man in a Ford-150 pickup truck drove by, extended his arm and sprayed with a large can, police said. His vehicle was stopped a few minutes later.
"Initial indications are he was probably targeting the Westboro Baptist Church" protesters, said officer Michael Pecha, a spokesman for Omaha police.

Westboro group should not be the focus but had it not been for them CNN wouldn't be covering the story of Staff. Sgt. Bock's funeral. The 600 members of the Patriot Guard Riders wouldn't be covered by CNN had it not been for the man who decided to add to the emotional damage being done by attacking the people adding to the trauma.
Fred Phelps
Fred Waldron Phelps, Sr. (born November 13, 1929) is an American pastor who is the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an Independent Baptist church based in Topeka, Kansas. WBC that is notorious for its anti-gay protests, claiming that most natural disasters and terrorist attacks are God's punishment for a society that tolerates homosexuality.[1][2] The church is monitored as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center.[3][4][5] Phelps was a disbarred lawyer, founder of the Phelps Chartered law firm, a past civil rights activist in Kansas, and a Democrat who has five times been a candidate for political office in Kansas Democratic Party primaries. He and his daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, are banned from entering the United Kingdom.[6]
Phelps's followers frequently picket various events, especially military funerals, gay pride gatherings, high-profile political gatherings, performances of The Laramie Project, and even Christian gatherings and concerts with which he had no affiliation, arguing it is their sacred duty to warn others of God's anger. When criticized, Phelps' followers say they are protected in doing so by the First Amendment.[7][8] In response to Phelps' protests at military funerals, President George W. Bush signed the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act into law in May 2006,[9] and, in April 2007, Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius signed into law a bill establishing a 150-foot no-picketing buffer zone around funerals.Phelps describes himself as an Old School Baptist, and states that he holds to all five points of Calvinism.[23] Phelps particularly highlights John Calvin's doctrine of unconditional election, the belief that God has elected certain people for salvation before birth, and limited atonement, the belief that Christ only died for the elect, and condemns those who believe otherwise
He has the right to believe what he wants but so does everyone else. He has the right to preach his message of hatred but no one should be forced to listen to him or any member of his group. This not only crosses the line of freedom of religion, it corrupts the right to free speech. "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" should protect the family members from having to listen to him and his group thank God for the death of a fallen son or daughter, protect them from having their liberty to attend a funeral without being harassed but it seems the only ones to deserve any happiness are those rejoicing with Phelps over the loss of life.
How someone goes from being a civil rights lawyer to attacking the civil rights of others is something we may never know.
But here is a story that CNN didn't cover. Lance Cpl. Nathaniel Schultz died in Afghanistan and his funeral was at a Baptist Church. Why did he want to serve? This is what he said,,,,
"To fight for righteous, individual freedom for myself and all children of God no matter where they were raised."
Yet while most people were thanking God for his life being sent here, people like the Westboro group were thanking God another Marine died. Which group do you think follows what Christ preached?
Fallen Marine was defender of 'righteous freedom'
By Bill Varian, Times Staff Writer
In Print: Sunday, August 29, 2010
Some time after he joined the Marine Corps, Nathaniel Schultz filled out a questionnaire asking him why he had signed up.
"Self reliance and ability to protect my family," Schultz wrote. "Decided if I go to war I might as well be the best, most well-trained. To fight for righteous, individual freedom for myself and all children of God no matter where they were raised."
Family and friends gathered under mostly cloudy skies Saturday morning at Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Brandon to honor a righteous fight cut short and the young man who waged it. There they were comforted by Pastor George Thomasson, who held up Schultz's goals as evidence of his focus, dedication and deep convictions.
"Nate's life was cut so short," Thomasson said. "We so appreciate deeply in our hearts the sacrifice he made."
Lance Cpl. Schultz was killed Aug. 21 during combat operations in Afghanistan's war-ravaged Helmand province. He was deployed to that country in June after training at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and was promoted to lance corporal three weeks before his death.

America needs to get act together now
Excuse me right now but I just poured a second glass of wine and shut down my PC. I'm on my laptop trying to get some air. I am really angry right now and it seems to just be building up after the news I read today. Glen Beck and Sarah Palin were in Washington today and according to reports they brought up how we need to "support the troops" and take care of our veterans. Strange because President Obama said the same thing in his weekly address to the nation. What is even more strange about all of this is there is a lot of talking going on that doesn't seem to worth very much.
First, Obama has done a lot to fix some of the messes our troops and veterans have had to deal with for a very long time but people against him politically don't seem to think any of this is worth mentioning. The same people doing a lot of talking today have kept their mouths shut and their ears off all these years but now they want everyone to think they really give a shit about what happens to any of them? I am going to be very blunt because you have one pissed off tipsy chaplain here.
These self-proclaimed "troops supports" always seen to end up hating veterans as if they go into the military with the thought of sucking off the system for the rest of their lives.
Sure, a kid out of high school thinks of joining the military so they can learn how to shoot, fire other weapons, travel, risk their lives, watching buddies die and get blown up at the same time killing other humans so that they can then come back home with the intention of screwing up their families lives, ending their marriages, messing up their kids so they can end up homeless, living in shelters and on the streets drinking themselves to death. Right. After all, that year of deployment, staying alive and worry about their buddies going home in boxes meant they should deserve time off on a park bench somewhere tossing a few down with some other homeless veterans living the good life in pouring rain, freezing snow and endless days without any food in their belly at all.
Well some in this country think that they are criminals wanting to file false claims so that they never have to work again. Even if that were true, would you have wanted to swap jobs with them for the time they did serve in some God forsaken hell they were sent into? If you have the nerve to say yes then why didn't you go? If you said yes and you did end up going then you better get the notion that you are better than any of them out of your head because they are not less than you. They are better than you! They came home with problems because they cared more about other people than you did. You may have been older than they were. That protected the part of your brain you are supposed to feel with.
Bet you didn't know that one! That's right. The frontal lobe is where the emotions are living inside of you and up until 25 that part of your brain has not grown up yet. So if you ended up risking your life at an older age than a high school kid, then count your blessings.
If they come home "messed up" then you should also look in the mirror because they served in the same military you did. Are you proud of your service? Did you do your job? Then what makes you think they are not proud of their service? Didn't do their job? They feel the pain more because they could feel everything else more.
For most of today it's been one comment left after another on a lot of the articles I've read by hacks posing as "troop supporters" at the same time they turn around and slander veterans.
PTSD is real and no they do not deserve to suffer.
PTSD is not new and one out of three combat veterans came home with it going all the way back to your great-great-great granddad. How much do you want to be that if you were able to know everything about your Civil War relative or Revolutionary War kin you'd end up finding out the war in one way or another ended their lives early?
This nation had better stop talking about doing something and getting it right, right now! Too many have died and many more have suffered while a lot of yakking is going on and not enough doing. The next time you hear one more talking head say that we need to take care of our troops and veterans, get themn to explain what the hell they have done instead of just talking about it when a veteran is in earshot. What has Glen Beck done? Sarah Palin? Any ideas? Did they ever mention during their airtime how many died by their own hand? How many ended up homeless? How many families were destroyed? Their talk is cheap and so is the attention they get because it does not cost them anything. They make money off talking. Folks these reports have been coming out since Vietnam. Both of them are old enough to remember about the way Vietnam veterans were treated and they should know better now.
The suicide rate keeps going up so if you want to hang onto the excuse they want to suck off the system then explain how they are supposed to do that when they are in an early grave~
