Quote: Towns88 "What's a soldier dying in action got to do with Matterson losing a finger? If you don't like someone's light hearted views for no reason then so what? There's light hearted views on every post and there's people who die every day, there is no link.'"
In an interview, Matterson made a comment along the lines of "I've lost a finger, but the whole thing is put in perspective when you hear about the local lad who lost his life in Afghanistan". I'm paraphrasing of course, but that is why people are talking about the two things.
I don't know why people are getting so irate though. I don't think anyone is being disrespectful to the lad or his family. In fact, people have been quite the opposite.
