So sad

In reporting about the rocket attacks on the Green Zone.
A source with a security company based inside the Green Zone reports that one of his fellow American contractors was killed Monday while lying on his bed talking on the phone to his wife.

  • This fruitless and meandering war has laid in its wake countless small, untold, human tragedies. A crime against humanity in the form of a thousand cuts; executed with stark dispassion or, just as likely, self-imposed ignorant disinterest.

    Another widow, another fatherless child, another damaged soldier denied benefits. They go unknown and unreported. And we like it that way. War feels so much more patriotic when you don't have to deal with its consequences. Doesn't it?

  • I just can't imagine what that must've been like for the wife.
