The British soldier slain in a gruesome cleaver attack in London was a well-liked infantryman and machine gunner who served in Afghanistan and Cyprus, and then became a military recruiter and ceremonial drummer outside the Royal Palaces, the military said Thursday.
Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was part of the Regimental Recruiting Team in London, and as a machine gunner, he was part of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
The Fusiliers, an infantry group, are known for the hackle, or feather plume, in their military headdress.
FULL STORY
The messages concerning terrorism and violence in England and Sweden could well be perceived by US citizens as angels of thought.
USA citizens can learn important lessons from recent events in England and Sweden.
You are right JIF but im still upset that police officer did not kill those brutal pigs. Better target training for Scottland Yard "gun police".
I'm not sure we actually learn anything. It sure doesn't look like it from here.
Dead terrorists don't give Intel. And you can't win wars without it.
Its too bad that the UK doesn't have the death penalty anymore.
My condolences to the family of this soldier.RIP
good that the perp was shot to death on the spot.
This past decade has witnessed tens of thousands of innocent people including women & children killed. God help & guide humanity. Appears we cannot cope up with ourselves unassisted.
If you count all the was in the world In the past 10 years it's more like a couple million.
Indeed@Big Shiz.

Let us kill and burn all muslims on memorial day. YAHOO!
