On Base, a Plea to Give Each Death Its Due
By WILLIAM YARDLEY
*** begin quote ***
“We owe them the highest gratitude a nation can give,” Lt. Col. John Pettit, a chaplain, said at a memorial service in July for two soldiers. Sgt. Joel A. Dahl and Cpl. Victor A. Garcia were killed by small-arms fire in Iraq.

No, we owe them a giant apology. We have the duty of getting their mates out of the danger zone asap. The politicians led us down another rat hole and we ought not take another casualty in a political blunder of mammouth proportions. We allowed them to not follow the Constitution and they died as a result.
Bring the boys and girls home. Now!
