i have been reading this blog, a refreshing breath or bite of realism. and i think each and every one of the "what gives you the right to fuck with our lives" is a very important reminder of the all too human cost of this ill-considered fiasco (and i wish there were a corresponding list of the vastly greater loss of Iraqi lives). but i can't help feeling that these very sterile DOD announcements are not very far removed from the anonymous stark white crucifixes that mark any number of american military cemetaries/battlefields. beyond all this is a very real, unique human being with their own no longer lived life and the people they leave behind. i am dismayed and distressed that these particular postings, as important as they are, pass without comment. so i hope that the readers of this blog will pause for at least a moment and consider the loss and the pain. and i would refer any and all to the site http://iraq.pigstye.net/ for the individuals lost and in this case, for this man http://iraq.pigstye.net/article.php/WosikaJamesM |
