More Coverage of the Burn Pits Posted by Maxload

Posted 03/19/09

This CNN story follows the one from the Huffington Post.  It is also about the burn pits.  This is just one more reason why we should not put our young people in harm's way unless it is for a truly just cause.  If people really want to protect the environment and the ozone and the ice caps, eliminating burn pits, or more importantly the wars that necessitate them, should be a top priority.

Also please read the story SSG Steven Ochs in my previous blog post.  Nearly 150 people have commented on the previous story at the Huffington Post. 

I commented, "There is no political speech that can justify what those he has left behind have lost."  This is the cost of war in blood and treasure.  We should just come home.

Please read on the story of SSG. Steven G. Ochs, and leave a comment if you are so inclined.  He was my brother's brother-in-law.  He was a good man, and a great American.

Your family loves you, Steve.
