Imagine this! My email to this scumbag failed to be delivered. Do you suppose he's already fired? We can only hope.

The body in the picture is that of Army S/Sgt. Bill Cleveland, crew chief and door gunner on Michael Durant's Blackhawk helicopter. It is reproduced and identified as such in Mark Bowden's Blackhawk Down, the basis for the movie. All the bodies seen in the street were either crewmen from Durant's chopper or the two Delta snipers (Gary Gordon and Randall Shughart) who attempted to rescue them in the face of incredible odds. Durant was captured, he was the only survivor. The other dead crewmen were Tommie Field and Ray Frank. Gordon and Shughart received posthumous Medals of Honor for their almost unbelievable heroism, the first for an action after Vietnam. I will remember their names for as long as I live, doing so takes something from the savages who desecrated their lifeless bodies.
