71. They had to have SOMETHING to tell the families

Many of the other posters on this thread seem to think that mom and dad had a direct-connect to Sonny in the field. If Sonny didn't e-mail today, Mom and Dad would notice. Bull fucking shit. You get sent out on a mission, and they make sure your un-armored Humveee has wifi? So, you sit on it, keep it quiet, get the paperwork in order, and Mom and Dad's son can die a hero in any of a number of locations in Iraq. But certainly not as a result of the "enemy" actually surprising us. That NEVER happens in war. Nope. Never. We're the United States. Only good things happen to our soldiers, in heroic ways. Those evil doers could never surprise us like that, right?

Right?
