Katy Bacevich, 22, one of the soldier's three sisters, recalled her brother as a born leader who answered a calling to serve his country. Andrew Bacevich joined the Army in July 2004 and had been stationed in Iraq since October with the Third Brigade Combat Team, First Cavalry Division.

"He felt it was an important thing to do, regardless of the war that was going on," she said. Despite her father's strong feelings about the conflict, Katy Bacevich said, "he never would discourage my brother from doing what he wanted to do."

Another American hero. All those guys, the ones who die, the ones who get wounded, the ones who come home unscathed. They’re all true heroes.

My prayers to Andy Bacevich and his family. I think to call him “anti-war” by the Globe is a smear. He disagrees with policy and how GWOT is being fought, but to say that he is an ‘anti-war peacenik’ as the Globe regularly uses the term to celebrate those who would rather surrender to any enemy of this nation (whom the Globe see as heros) is an insult to Bacevich.

"preventive wars" as "immoral, illicit, and imprudent."

Is it immoral for police to stop a man from raping more women? Is it immoral for police to stop a mass murderer who has already killed thousands?

Libs tell us we are responsible for the well-being of this small, small world. But I guess they don't believe in practicing what they preach.

Boy, the Vietnam war ruined a lot of good men.

And now many of them want to ruin another generation of kids fighting for their country the same way.

Speaks loudly for the father and the family he raised!!! The love and respect they have for each other
