Wired profiles soldier advocate
Follow up:
About a month ago, I posted about Joseph Delappe, the guy that goes into the game, America's Army, and types in the name of fallen soldiers in Iraq. Wired just dropped a well rounded article about Mr. Delappe.
Of note: a quote from an active duty airman,
"If I were to die in Iraq I would not want my name to be used in this manner at all. A dead soldier is not, and should not, be a political icon used to justify beliefs that they may not have shared."With all due respect... Are not all the soldiers in Iraq right now, at least partially, being used for a political means meant to justify beliefs not everyone at home shares? Such is the tricky hydra of military use and its justifications.
