I am of the mind set that all crimes are "hate crimes". If we are going to go down the road as to single out groups for "special" coverage of the law, the U.S. Military should be at the top of the list. God bless all the true heroes of this world The Military, Police, Firefighters and emergency service workers. Without this core group of people we Americans would not be able to exist. Pvt. Long is truly lucky. He is at home now kicking back watching all of us dealing with all the B.S. down here. God bless the Long family. Just know your loved one is better off now. We are the ones stuck here left trying to fix this crazy Country.

My heart goes out to the Long family. This should have never happened. A young man who tried to do the right thing, serve his country, he had hope, potential, a life to live......only to be brought down in a war against an idea that we are all evil and deserve death. Private Long was as much a hero as those who lose their lives on the battlefield. Our military give their time, love, and life's while others live their lives for themselves only. Semper fi my friend may God bless you... from a Marine brat & mom

My sympathies to the family of this young man. I hope we do not see any more of this senseless violence against our military men and women in their own country.
