But for this father, anger mixed with pain. Michael Waters-Bey believes his son, a staff sergeant
specialist in helicopter maintenance,
died needlessly in a war that does not make sense.
Holding up a photograph of his son, Michael Waters-Bey, who described himself as
a "naturalized Muslim,"
said he wished he could speak directly to the dead Marine's commander-in-chief.

Hmmmmmmm.
I'm suspicious.
