I just received a phone, my sister, the one who is severely scarred from childhood burns, just had her husband killed in Iraq. She thought he was safe, the handover and the fact he got lucky and was deployed in an Abrams, but they got him outside the vehicle. Total irony - she had just received the forms back for in vitro (they had been trying to conceive and were having some problems).
I have thoroughly disliked this administration from the start, but now it's personal (for any US security personnel and data miners out there, I will work against Bush via the toll both, no other way). My sister may end up staying with us this summer, once she sells the house and all that. Any ex-military, or military spouses out there, have any suggestions for her on how the military handles this. Plus, does the US Army try to play games with the widow the same way they do with service-related disablilities?
There's not that much more to say, except he's dead. Unnecessarily (if it had been in Afghanistan that would have been totally different). Under false pretences. At least I voted against the fool, and as I've stated before I wanted McCain - after spending the length of time he did in a Vietnamese prison cell, he would not have so lightly started the Irag conflict. This is what you get when you elect a chickhawk who talks about how dangerous his practice flights out across the Gulf of Mexico were
