He died,was declared mia for three or four days.I am so grateful that they declared him even though they didn't find his body for 30 years at which point they sent home a thigh bone and lots of pictures of co-ordinates and said it was him.I,of course believe it.Actually,I accepted it as true because I knew it would give some meaning to his life through his children's eyes since they were all too young to really understand what happened when it happened.
The disinformation I received initially was enough for me to know that things were not as they seemed.I spent a good deal of time reading books on guerrilla warfare and counter-insurgency which I advise everyone to read up on.
And yes,I know when you are fighting a war you cannot telegraph your every move to the enemy,I did not expect that but there are just some things that were so clearly crazy vis a vis the government,the media and the student protesters. Ugh!!!
I am truly sorry for your loss and the loss our country suffers each time one of our soldiers dies doing his duty. God bless your husband. Thank you for telling me his story.
