Irving company has lost 26 employees in Iraq war

SHEILA FLYNNAssociated PressDALLAS - With three people killed this week, a Dallas-area company that offers military support services overseas has lost 26 employees in Iraq since the war began in 2003.

Irving-based DynCorp International's latest losses came Wednesday, when an improvised explosive device hit a convoy en route from a regional office of the American embassy near Basra.

Killed were Richard Thomas Hickman, 52, of Cave Spring, Ga., and Roland Carroll Barvels, 42, of Aberdeen, S.D., members of DynCorp's police training mission. The attack injured another American employee and an Iraqi translator, DynCorp spokesman Gregory Lagana said Thursday.

Another officer was killed in Iraq on Monday, and the company has also lost five workers in Afghanistan since March 2003, Lagana said. But the figures pale in comparison to the worldwide deployment of company employees: 14,000 in an estimated 35 countries.

1. THE QUEEN SONG "Another One Bites the Dust"
Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Good riddance to a SCUM BUCKET
