4. Majority appear to be from Fort Carson, CO |
|
which just "hosted" Rumsfeld a few weeks ago and which has already suffered more than 20 lost since "hostilities ended..." On the Rumsfeld visit, the press set this up as a chance for disgruntled families to confront him on the extension of duty tours, etc., etc. It was, of course, a whitewash.
My sympathies and support to all these military families. I ache for you.
