Further to my post War Deaths The Great Taboo the Washington Post, in a display of an absense of patriotism, has posted on it's web site photos of the American soldiers killed in Iraq.

This is a photo of Allen Jaynes of Henderson, Texas, U.S., killed when a makeshift bomb detonated near his vehicle in Iraq. He was 21 when he was killed, the same age as my son. Probably, like my son, he was full of hopes and plans for his future. I dare say joining the army was a big adventure and he was full of excitement and enthusiasm when he headed off to Iraq. How sad that he has died, I feel for his father, I know how I would feel if it were my son.
