It really is a shame. Hope he finds decent employment after this incident. As for the 'victim,' it is too bad that Judge Greer wasn't there to order a two-week death by starvation and dehydration. That would have been so much more humane.
May I ask--without mentioning "TS" by name--how vocal the "Life at Any Cost" crowd has been on this issue? Have they attacked this soldier for not erring on the side of life until we determined if the wounded combatant had a living will preference? Have they called him a murderer, and asked for President Bush to intervene?
Most everyone is sick of the TS issue, but there really are important questions here... why don't our lawmakers have the guts to allow merciful deaths, when almost everybody knows in their guts that it's the right and decent thing to do. And if we feel that way for an incapacitated enemy--why do we make our own loved ones suffer so much?
I do hope that when the inevitable new legislation comes out of the whole awful affair in Florida, people will consider the much broader picture--and explore what incidents like this one in Iraq mean, too.
Still absorded in that irrelevency I see.
