A hero falls

Just under sixty-three years ago American soldiers and Marines raised a flag on Mount Suribachi. One of them died today.

Are there any veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan whose deaths we will mark in sixty years time? It does not seem likely. American gratitude is not what it once was.

American gratitude is not what it once was. Amen. We've devolved from appreciation of courage to complacency. Not a good trend.

For more and more people, soldiers are no longer armed champions of idealistic American principles; rather, we're slaves of the faceless machine of 'the Man.'

In 60 years, the Iraqis will remember our war dead more than Americans will.
