National Guard member 2 weeks away from finishing his 6 year commitment forced to go to Iraq for a year, against his will, and now he's dead

From Editor & Publisher, a must read:

Two days before he left for Iraq last November, Gennaro Pellegrini, Jr., a 31-year-old Philly cop and up-and-coming boxer, questioned the "so-called war." He will not be returning from it.

Once again, all you military folks out there, ask yourselves why it's the liberal/Democratic blogs who are upset over this service member's death and not the conservative/Republican blogs, the ones who supposedly care more about the military?
