For several years now the Left has been demanding an end to the "occupation" of Iraq but have been mute on the 60+ year occupation of Germany. Now I know why. From FoxNews:

There is an article being carried on McClatchy about a man, Francisco Martinez, who returned to military service after his only son was killed in Iraq by a sniper. We should honor his sacrifice, his courage, and his integrity. Mourn with him the loss of his son, and respect his ...

When I was in the Air Force back in the '80s, deliberately missing an ordered troop movement was called "desertion." Today it is called a "political statement." One of the more recent adaptors of this tactic for failing to live up to a contractual obligation with the military is Matthis ...

This week has seen a rise in violence in Iraq, especially in Basra and in/around Baghdad. When airstrikes are called in, that's indicative of an escalation. The Green Zone had been pretty quiet until this new upsurge in terrorism.

Minnesota has lost another son in the war on Terror in Iraq this week. I don't always write about these fine and courageous young soldiers; there are many other voices out there doing a better job of it than I can ever do.
