The Duke Lacrosse Player The Media Won't Focus On
Mary Katharine Ham posts a touching tribute to Army Ranger Jimmy Regan... the ultimate Duke lacrosse player, killed by a roadside bomb on February 9 in northern Iraq his fourth combat tour.
Regan's mourning father notes:
"What is written in the papers and what is being politicized out there by our candidates is undermining our service," said James Regan, a senior vice president at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Manhattan financial services investment bank."These gentlemen that are out there are mission-focused," he said of the troops. "They're trying to do the best job they possibly can. There have been mistakes made, why even list them? ... You cannot put men in the field of battle and then change your mind and go out as a whip-dog. Let the men do their job."
I'm fairly certain that last line was directed at Okinawa Jack, Blinky Pelosi, and the rest of the Democrats that are desperately trying to think of ways to lose the war in Iraq.
Make sure you read the whole thing.
I just searched Google news - five (5) stories about him; inclucing the one in M.K.Ham's post!
Who says the MSM/DNC does not present all sides of a story!???@#$%!
11 months ago there were literally hundreds on the Duke Rape that was a fabricated by the MSM/DNC and Nifong!
Rathergate has had no impact on 60 years of bigotry in the MSM/DNC. Thank God for MK Ham or we'd never get the real stories on the Duke lax men!
The real good news is that the MSM/DNC has seen its market share decline for 30 years. Many are near death. And they deserve to die with things like this.
Interesting about where this young man's father works. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods used to have offices in the World Trade Center; 67 of their 172 employees died on 9/11. I wonder how much influence that had on his decision to enlist right from college...
Posted by: Kris, in New England at February 22, 2007 11:42 AMA large proportion of the military shares Murtha's and Pelosi's misgivings about the war.
"An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year"

If 72% of the troops think they should leave within a year, how do you figure that Murtha and Pelosi are not supporting the troops? Much less is is it accurate to imply that they are traitors.
