An inconvenient event
The last sentence of my letter printed in the NY Times responding to the op-ed of these brave men was:
"Let's hope some in Congress read the account of these men and feel it's time to listen to those whose vision is not clouded by politics, and whose lives are actually on the line."
From all accounts of the scripted and feebly challenged military theatre taking place in Washington, members of Congress still aren't listening to those voices willing to speak the truth.
At first I felt ill on hearing this latest news, and now I am crying over the loss of these soldiers with whom I feel kinship. I wonder how many on Capitol Hill will stop to grieve for them, or to even acknowledge their inconvenient deaths.
