The names of more than 200 dead U.S. soldiers will be removed from an Iraq War memorial in Lafayette this weekend, organizers said today.

The name plaques have drawn criticism on the Internet and conservative radio shows from people who say it's offensive.

if they were stupid enough to die, we don't wanna know about it. For sure, we don't want the REST of the nation to know about it. Why do ya think we don't allow photos of returning caskets?
