Wow. Unsubstantiated opinion? Less than credible sources? These were people who knew him and communicated with him often. His best friend, for example. Have you guys even read the newspaper reports, or are you just reading each other's quotes? The Ottawa Citizen had emails Tony wrote to family and friends. That's first-hand information.

You should be embarassed for shutting that guy out of the discussion. Our whole purpose for being over there in the first place is to protect free speech, to protect a free press - which includes settings like this forum. Seems you lot are only interested in hearing people that agree with you.
Lemme guess: the irony escapes you.

I think the majority of the public really cares when a young soldier like Cpl. Boneca dies in the line of duty. Because in a way, he died for all of us. That's really sad.
That also makes his life and death subject of public discussion and hence subject to immediate commentary by the media. People want to know that stuff. And for the most part, I think the families and friends want people to know. Cpl Boneca was a popular young man, generous, athletic and kind-hearted.
You read it in the National Post and I suspect if you went to the local Tim Horton's in TBay you would have learned it there too.
Many of the media stories pay tribute to his life. The fact that the media reported some of his doubts about the mission seems to upset many of you. Get over it.

You condescending little stooge. [ Sorry Curly, Larry and Moe] Now that some of his section mates and HIS OWN FATHER have said otherwise you still are too arrogant to get the picture. This, if true, would still have been news two days later and spared his family, friends and all of Canada a lot of grief. I guess its too much for you though to understand comradeship at its highest though......I pity you.
