Received an email from a friend of mine this morning. He's currently serving in a civilian capacity in Afghanistan and was supposed to be flying "home" to Colorado this weekend for some R&R. Instead, he'll be going home to Montana for the funeral of his brother, killed by an IED in Iraq. I don't know that I ever had the chance to meet his brother, but I'm saddened by this nonetheless. How much more senseless killing must occur before this Administration wakes up and realizes that they've not, in fact, made anything better, but have actually made life worse -- especially for the families of those who have men and women serving abroad.
Please read this nice, detailed write-up on Spc. Michael Frank.
