Just A Note
Michelle Malkin is talking about the NYT story about Corporal Starr and how the times left out a pertinent portion of a letter he wrote to his girlfriend. The letter and its important parts are here:
"Obviously if you are reading this then I have died in Iraq. I kind of predicted this, that is why I'm writing this in November. A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances. I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."

Our Soldiers are brave, they are steadfast, and they are good. They know the mission, they believe in the mission. And they are not children. They are proud men and women who love this country and are willing to give everything for it. They should be honored by our media, not manipulated for political reasons.
