For those of you who think only losing one soldier is not that bad in the grand scheme of things...I disagree. As a military wife and mother I have awaited casuality reports, praying my phone doesn't ring, no one knocks at my door...apparently you haven't.
When I heard about this casualty my heart sank, we have friends and relatives serving their now, but it doesn't effect you because he's just a name to you....to his/her family it's teir whole life.
I mourn each and every one, there by the grace of God goes my husband and son.
Being the son of a career Air Force Dad, I sure DO understand where you are coming from. Thanks for your comments.
Redcloak, did you see this one???? Do you care?
I just did a quick check of CNN, Fox, Drudge, MSNBC, and ABC. This
one death is the lead story on all of their sites. Our enemies see that and think that we are all consumed by that one death. If that emboldens the enemy and causes him to think that it's safe to attack America, then mystery-ak's husband and son are in greater danger than they were 24 hours ago. And needlessly so.
"Do you care?"
