This sickens me. During Viet Nam I used to pull post duty. I was the driver and an OFFICER was the one to tell the families of casualties of Viet Nam.
Now this cheap ass Bush send the National Guard. I am not denigrating the Guard, its just that that is an active duty task. This Bush cabal has done more harm to the military than they ever pretended democrats could do.

Want to get a really good idea how well the The Surge™ is working for Iraqis in particular? Here's a little quiz for you. The answers may surprise you - or maybe they won't.

"The cease-fire is over; we have been told to fight the Americans," said one Mahdi Army militiaman, who was reached by telephone in Sadr City. This same man, when interviewed in January, had stated that he was abiding by the cease-fire and that he was keeping busy running his cellular phone store.
Well, that's the end of that, I guess.
Posted by iamcoyote at March 25, 2008 02:45 PMYes, me, just what I was going to say:
Think about that. Fifty-six years old. A financial analyst. Killed in the Green Zone
and "National Guard" to complete that thought.
So let's see, the guy's folks are at minimum in their late seventies hearing their son was blown to bits? FuckingA, isn't it time for this shit to end.

from the same article:
Leona Converse said her son telephoned from Iraq a week ago to wish her a happy 80th birthday, and sent e-mails almost every other day. She said he was proud of the work he was doing for the war-ravaged country.Posted by Turkana at March 25, 2008 03:23 PM
I suppose with stop-loss and the neverending war, alot more geriatrics will be getting that news in the future.
