Tornado Alley (PROG)

[BullNBear52]

From a coldly logical point of view, news of this death is no worse than the steady flow of news of other deaths, American and otherwise, coming out of Iraq. But for many people it is worse, based on the widespread knowledge that Lt. Bacevich’s family includes his father, retired Army Col. Andrew Bacevich.

The elder Andrew Bacevich graduated from West Point, served in Vietnam, and became an academic and scholar, as professor of history at Boston University. He is also an Atlantic Monthly author [ http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200705/military-dissent ].

One can only wonder realizing the knowledge the father had regarding the war; why he would have allowed this to happen.
