Seven Marines Killed in Nevada

By Douglas V. Gibbs

A training accident in Nevada killed seven Marines from a North Carolina unit, according to the United States Marine Corps on Monday evening.

Several people were also injured.  The injured were taken to local hospitals.

The democrats didn't waste anytime politicizing the tragedy, blaming it on the sequester, a budget cut that does not actually cut any actually spending, but reduces the increase of future spending.

Harry Reid specifically said, "As I indicated, it was quite a big explosion. We’ll follow this news very closely. I will do whatever I can going forward to support the United States military and the families of the fallen Marines.  Mr. President, it’s very important we continue training our military, so important.But one of the things in sequester is we cut back in training and maintenance. That’s the way sequester was written."

Our prayers and thoughts are with the families and friends of these fallen Marines.  Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the democrats.  They wish to only try to gain political ground as a result of the deaths of these fine military members.
