Another Hero lost in Afghanistan
From SondraK.
The Soldier’s name is I believe (see the link in the SondraK article to NRO for why I cannot be positive) Chris Rudzinski.
From his dad.
I don’t have the details yet on Chris’ death. I was told it was an IED. Chris is my oldest son, 28 years old and a father for his little boy Ryan and husband to Caroline, his wife. I have attached a picture of Chris and Ryan, who turned one year old last month while his daddy was in Afghanistan. The picture was taken on the day of his departure. This was Chris’ 4th tour in harm’s way-once to Kosovo, twice to Iraq and now Afghanistan. He is a SGT in the Military Police Corps. I’m also including a hyperlink to an article which made me very proud of my son. It won’t be hard to figure out our family name, but that’s ok-it’s time I came out of the shadows and started advocating for my son and his comrades. …
…Please keep Chris, Caroline, Ryan and my family in your prayers. We have another son, Jordan, who was inspired by his older brother’s love of country and the service to join the Army as well. He is scheduled to deploy next year….
Our prayers do go out to the family. When you find yourself getting bent out of shape at the small tragedies in your life, remember the patriots who sacrificed it all for the rest of us.

Right/left, progressive/conservative are small differences in comparison to loss. Every lost soldier hurts all of us, their loved one’s most of all. I’m not sure how much comfort cyber-solidarity provides but we are indeed all standing together.
Right with you.

The truth is that nobody’s really sure what this guy died for. But hey, nevermind that, just call him a “hero” and a “patriot” and say that he “sacrificed it all for the rest of us,” and hopefully nobody will notice. Ah, the beauty of mass hypnosis.
One of the freedoms he died for was the one that gives you the right to sully his honor.

Also, while you’re at it, try explaining how what I said in any way sullied his honor. All I did was point out that spouting a bunch of meaningless platitudes about service to your country doesn’t change the fact that we really don’t know what we’re doing in Afghanistan.
