hope this kid got a bunch of press, and especially in iraq.
Again, Casanova, I've seen nothing about this in the news. If it wasn't so sadly predictable, it might be funny. When will we ever get the whole story from the media?? Thanks for continuing to keep us all informed. At least those of us who read milblogs know the truth.
I was there April-July, 2004. I am doing this also to help get The Truth out. We are battling liberal-socialist thinking and printing by the presses those people write for. This will be a long, slow schlog -- Donald Rumsfeld.
