Fathers of soldiers killed in Iraq hailed their sons for speaking out

Fathers of soldiers killed in Iraq hailed their sons for speaking out. The fathers of Omar Mora and Yance Gray, the two soldiers from the 82nd Airborne who drafted a New York Times editorial criticizing the rosy assessments of the war, said they were proud of them for voicing for their opinions. New York Times Deputy Editorial Page Editor David Shipley, who worked with the seven soldiers who drafted the op-ed, had this to say about them:

“They said from the get-go they did not want to be paid for this,” Shipley said, declining to reveal his payment scale, but said most freelance columnists are paid several hundred dollars. “It was a definite statement from them.”

They did it in Vietnam.

There have to be some out there refusing missions, saying
no f'ing way are you sending me on a suicide mission!
