I knew this kid. We were in the same company, Co C 2/108thINF, and I missed going to Iraq by only a few months of enlistment time. Actually, I would've been the 2nd Platoon's Platoon Leader by this time, had everything gone according to my plans (and not my wife's). I trained with these guys often, shared jokes and taunts (different platoons and all). As I've said before, I'm glad I'm not there, but guilty that I'm not, and they are.

I guess what really bothers me is that it was on the last page of the paper, buried in the sports section. Complete BS.
I was hoping to get through this without attending funerals.
