Too much

[<MADDOG>]

I appreciate some members dedication, but sometimes the said devotion overwhelms the rest of the threads.

Make one thread perhaps?

Sorry, I'm not following. One thread for?

[MrPrena]

Probably not going to happen. Past X amount of years, people mentioned about 1 thread. Sub-forum dedicated to that specific topic. Didn't happened.

[<MADDOG>]

I apologize, as I thought it would be obvious...

Please make a thread for for Kev.

He is passionate about fallen LE, and it shows. I get it, as most of us do.

However, IMO, the passion can overwhelm the HD thread.

I'm going to disagree. The individual threads make a statement that a single consolidated one wouldn't. It's easy enough to scroll down or skip pages if you want.

It just strikes me as so strange. They’re all just copy-paste jobs from the odmp.org website. I can visit the website anytime.

We should be honoring military deaths, too. Fire service would be nice, as well.

Hi Folks.

It had been briefly considered, at one time, to make a sticky or subforum for all of the LEO deaths. As was mentioned here, the individual posts make a statement that wouldn't be made if they were lumped into one section.

This forum was started by an LEO; we carry the respect for the sacrifices made by officers by the solemn reminders of KenDev's posts.
Not_a_Llama, are you volunteering to begin posting fallen military and Fire service? It is quite a commitment.

Aloha_Shooter & TheGrey sum it up very well.

We hear everyone's concerns that it can sometimes be overwhelming to the rest of the GD forum to see all of those individual posts. We do not disagree. But we also feel that each of these men and women deserve to be recognized individually for their sacrifices.

As a retired Airman, who served briefly in an LE role, I can appreciate the idea that we should also post the deaths of our active duty service men and women - but no one on the staff has the time to commit to such an endeavour. We would welcome anyone who wishes to step forward to take this on.

In the mean time, if anyone finds it bothersome, please just scroll past these threads. For anyone else, I hope that you, like me, are awestruck, humbled and saddened by the loss of so many who have sacrificed their lives to help keep order versus chaos and ensure America can be the great civilized nation for our children that we enjoyed.

Ginsue out.

ETA: Whether military or law enforcement, serving your nation and/or your community is a calling. Not all receive this calling and not all answer it. I'm very grateful for those who do. I don't mind working through each of those threads to get down to the other general discussion topics.
