When intelligent, thoughtful, good men like Mark Daily die in Iraq, wasting their lives and talent for an idealistic goal that is not shared by the greedy, cynical, war profiteers who sent them there, non-fighting, blowhard righties, who themselves would never, ever volunteer or serve, and who continue to hero worship a president and vice president who didn't bother to serve when it was their turn, applaud.
I don't think I will ever understand these people.
R.I.P. Second Lieutenant Daily. I applaud your service and your ideals, but am deeply saddened by the waste of your life and the loss to your loved ones.
