MB Civic

By Andrew J. Bacevich | Sunday, May 27, 2007 | The Washington Post

Andrew Bacevich teaches history and international relations at Boston University. His son died May 13 after a suicide bomb explosion in Salah al-Din province. He has been an outspoken critic of Bush policies since 9/11, and he is a veteran of Vietnam, another war of choice founded upon lies. Here he ponders the death of his son at age 27, a young man cut down while doing his patriotic duty, just as his father was speaking out against the war, also out of sense of patriotism. Heartbreaking, touching stuff…BS
