awful price of war

The Awful Price

A twisted tale of a west point professor who volunteered for combat duty in Iraq for the experience of it. this goes on to explain what a strong leader he was and how great his morals were and all sorts of stories from his past. This man the then died from being shot with a pistol. the army claims it was suicide which looks very bad for the army, while others believe that he was murdered by someone within the military, which looks even worse. I do not know the details well enought to deliver any real insight here, hell i didnt even finish the article, but the two options are pretty bad, maybe there is a third that Im not thinking of. Either the military had him killed for some reason, which is terrible but really wouldnt shock me in the least these days. Or more disturbing to me is the idea that the man killed himself. he was a religious man, an athlete and highly iteligent, his morals were very strong and has led some to question if he saw things that he simply could not be a part of so he killed himself, or he saw things he could not be a part of and threatend to talk, either way he ended up dead and that is a tragity. It could be that they were just saying nice things about him because he had just died but he seemed like the kind of person that the millitary needs more of, a kind of person that the world needs more of. so at any rate think of it what you will.
