I had to read it twice.

A government employee who works in public affairs at Fort Campbell, Kentucky was talking about how she felt about Americans honoring her husband.

Sherry Orlando is a spokeswoman at Fort Campbell, Ky., and she doesn't want her husband, who was killed in Iraq in 2003, to be used "for someone's political agenda."

I guess once is enough.

Between her pay in United States Army Public Affairs, the bounty she got for his death in Iraq and the paychecks she will receive for the rest of her natural life Sherry Orlando has used her husband politically enough for 3 lifetimes.

She had this to say, "Being in the military ... was who he was. It wasn't just a job. He supported what he did and I support that as well."

Her husband had been a Lieutenant Colonel in the Military Police but ended up in a combat situation. He had started his lifelong career in the US Army as an enlisted man and moved his way up to command.

His recklessness in Iraq is attested to by his fellow soldiers who thought it was valor. The policeman rushed into every incident he could. Instead of remaining in command and control as an officer should he rushed ahead. It is said that oftentimes his reckless actions led to the deaths of innocent Iraqis and unprepared soldiers under his command.

Did his lack of expertise led to the death of honorable soldiers fighting a dishonorable war?
