From the moment he read "Gates of Fire" until a fanatic's bullet slammed into his back, "Murph" lived the life.

The book told the story of the battle of Thermopylae - about how a force of 300 Spartans was slaughtered for standing against 200,000 invading Persians.

In that moment, under three dazzling chandeliers in the East Room of the White House, I suddenly wished that the beautiful ceremony had been held in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Not to make a spectacle, but just so every one of those Hollywood bums who spew out idiocy to demoralize our troops could hear what a real American was made of.

Bruce Springsteen, the latest Bush-basher, might have been "born in the USA." And he can keep living in freedom in the USA because of the blood, guts and sacrifice of men like Murph.

Of course, if that is the case, the responsibility for the deaths shifts to those who implemented this policy. some would say they belong in front of a firing squad.

If you wish to blindly accept what is fed to you, that's your choice. If you believe that daring to question is being an armchair quarterback, that too is your choice.

I do not consider this game. Americans are dead, and I believe they died needlessly because because someone at some level decided that these muzzie goat herders were allowed to just walk off to set 200 taliban on the SEAL team.. I want to know who is responsible.
