The latest book by my Iraq battle buddy and roommate, Fred Minnick. I’d gotten word today there’s a couple pages where I’m a part of his story. I called him and he read the pages in which he tells of one of our experiences having mortar rounds miss our quarters and then, unable to sleep, he opened a Listerine bottle full of whiskey he’d received in a care package, I grabbed a couple cigars and we sat outside in the area between the trailers we were in dubbed “NCO Alley.”

WTF indeed. I did military public affairs for about 20 of my 21 1/2 years in the service and had fellow Army National Guard public affairs people helping with press queries when my oldest boy was KIA in 2006. Paul Reickhoff is absolutely correct - this is all kindsa chewed the fuck up. What the hell is a “believed to be casualty”? Is that something new they’re teaching at Defense Information School or something? The troop’s family sees this and they too will more than likely be like “WTF?”
