In her Memorial Day article entitled "The Pentagon can honor our military dead this Memorial Day by committing to fight the right way," retired Air Force Lt. Col. and MS NOW contributor Rachel E. VanLandingham argues that the best way for the Pentagon to honor fallen troops is by “owning the mistakes” that have killed Iranian civilians, restoring the...
