Not sure how to react
I'm getting around to the story about Neil Berg. And I really don't want to write about it at all. I don't like writing about topics where it's not possible to be rational. I know what senseless death in the family feels like, and regardless of how it came about I choose not to add to that.
When everyone was going on and on about Tillman, I wrote only one post, which most people probably failed to realize was on the subject.
It's just that the other day I posted what an Iraqi blogger said was the reason the insurgents lynched and mutilated those four security men working as contractors. It's said they were complicit in the torture of Iraqi prisoners. If that is the case, I can raise as little anger toward them as I can toward a friend's uncle who, I am told, joined the Army in the late 50s to avoid prosecution for killing the person that raped his daughter.
I don't know why Berg chose to stay in Iraq after being advised to leave. It could have been any combination of nobility, greed, stupidity…All I know for sure is, he shouldn't have even have had the opportunity to be there to begin with.
