God bless Lt. Andrew Bacevich and his family - may they embrace their fallen soldier’s life and sacrifice with love, for he died doing what he believed was worthy...

From the continuation...

Bacevich responded:

That’s why I myself tend not to buy into the charge that Bush and others blatantly lied us into this war. I think they believed most of what they claimed. You should probably put believe in quotes, because it amounts to talking yourself into it. They believed that American omnipotence, as well as know-how and determination, could imprint democracy on Iraq. They really believed that, once they succeeded in Iraq, a whole host of ancillary benefits were going to ensue, transforming the political landscape of the Middle East. All of those expectations were bizarre delusions and we’re paying the consequences now.

Unfortunately, the son paid for the sins of his father.

God definitely chose the better Bacevich for himself.

May He bless that brave soldier for ever.

My heart breaks for the Professor and his wife and I offer my condolences. Your son’s brave service will be heralded and applauded and his death will be grieved on this Board, sir.

This is a tragedy, but it should be remembered that every American who has encouraged the enemy to keep fighting has contributed to the deaths of our soldiers.

May the spirit of God give the family of this fine young man peace over the sacrifice of their beloved son, who is now in the arms of our heavenly Father.

The time may seem long to those left behind before they are rejoined with their loved ones now in eternity, but for this brave young man, it will have only been a blink of an eye.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4)”

May your Son be wrapped in the Loving Arms of Our Lord, and provided comfort and tranquility in the Kingdom of God Almighty.

May the Lord comfort you, as well, in this, your time of loss and sadness.

:O)
