He was killed by a roadside bomb June 26. The words that he has to say about the Iraqi people, the men he recruited, and his family are gut wrenching.

I agree with hartmann that soldiers are selfless and sacrificing a lot. I believe there's a lot of them in it for other reasons but if never before they know how dangerous it can be. I have a family member over there and am very proud of him.

I also agree with prefix bc I'm sick of seeing "_____ died today in Iraq" stories. The media doesn't air/print these stories because they care about the soldiers they do it because they're trying to tug the heartstrings and get people to take their side. I guarantee during Vietnam where tens of thousands died there wasnt a damn 5 min feature on the news about each dead soldier how he was the football team captain in high school.
