Soldiers Dying in Iraq: Another Parent's View
We've been hearing a lot about losing a child in war from Cindy Sheehan and now, from Paul Schroeder, who wrote a piece for WaPo entitled A Life, Wasted. These parents are grieving and obviously believe the war is wrong. And the MSM loves to hear from them.
They don't love to hear from folks like Robert Stokely, who also lost a son in combat over in Iraq. Stokely's story appears on Crazy Politico's Rantings. Click here to read it. It's a moving tribute to a loved son who believed in what he was doing and had no illusions about the possible consequences.
Crazy Politico asks, "Will the Washington Post print this?" My guess is no. But if enough of us (as in irresponsible bloggers) link to it, plenty more people will see it than might see it in the WP.

Thanks for the link, Mr. Stokely has another letter on my blog, "How Hard is it to Hit Reply?" concerning the Posts lack of response to him (and others).
