The Rest of the Story On The Deaths Of The Nine Members Of The 82nd Airborne

Topics: Iraq

Army officials today continued the solemn process of contacting the families of nine paratroopers killed in a suicide truck bombing in Iraq, the single deadliest attack for the storied 82nd Airborne Division in nearly 40 years.

On this devastating news, Wizbang offers:

" ... The television reports of today consist almost completely of casualty figures, and often soundbites of politicians, with no context of the battle whatsoever. The written press reports are usually somewhat better -- they are longer with more space to fill so they generally provide more context and some information about our military successes, but still are lacking.

... What is a better way to honor the fallen? To recite a casualty number and express pity, or to tell the story of some of the successes those brave men and women achieved at the cost of their very lives? I realize that news is not about honoring the fallen, but it should at least be about telling the story -- the whole story."

If you're of the mind to know the truth and believe that knowing the whole story is the best way to honor the fallen, then go to Jules Crittenden's Forward Movement...
