#1 I'm assume some fellow veteran - who knows Lorance haven't done anything wrong, would offer him a job.

#3 My general term for what these big corporations have done to America is "SovietAmerica.com"

#5 Not sure why "?" even comes into it. When a big corporate insurer finds out some small fry is employing a "controversial" person, they have unlimited leeway to cancel a policy. And ask anyone who has to explain to another insurer why they were cancelled by their last one to expand upon how that's a problem.

#6 MM, Surely, you can find somebody who understands - or pressure the bastards. I mean, this guy is important. IMO, he's the symbol of all the soldiers in modern time who were told "Go and win a war, but die rather than producing negative publicity."

#7 ^I mean, it's not like he marched into a a village, rounded all the men and shot them or raped the women. All he did is miscalculate the threat level - and not by much. I'm sure if you take a good look at the WoT records, you'll find plenty of examples of USA soldiers who died because they were wrong in another direction.
IMO, at most, he should've gotten a year. Maybe a discharge. Not 19!

#8 I'd be top of the list hoping insurance companies might decide to be honest brokers. I would not even be in the back of the line to bet on it, though...

#9 Not a lawyer but guessing that such insurance co. behavior might be illegal in municipalities such as SF that have laws non-discriminatory treatment of people with criminal records.
