Rest in peace, soldiers.......

Since the media has decided that we shouldn't waste our beautiful minds over stories like this, I thought I would take a moment and grieve two more....


BAGHDAD, Iraq - A mortar attack Sunday killed two U.S. soldiers and left 16 wounded — one critically — at a base west of the Iraqi capital.

Maj. Richard Spiegel of the Army's 13th Corps Support Command said the mortar barrage slammed into Logistical Base Seitz, on Baghdad's western outskirts, around 6 p.m. local time.

Eight of the injured were evacuated by air to the Army's 31st Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad, where the two later died of their wounds, Spiegel said.

One wounded soldier was listed in critical condition, and four others returned to duty. Names of the dead and wounded were being withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

1. Barbara Bush might not care

but the heartland does. The death of a young local serviceman was front page news here, and his funeral was attended by hundreds.

3. What's worse

is that so many of the veterans, not to mention active-duty military, still worship * as a god and see Kerry as "Hanoi John."

It is getting hard to feel sorry for them being blown to bits day after day if they can never see the futility of their cause.
