Soldiers Who Critized the War in Iraq Killed



What senseless tragedy. Two very brave young men, Sgt. Yance Gray, 26, and Sgt. Omar Mora,28 who spoke out against what they saw in Iraq and against the U.S. war in Iraq were killed today when allegedly their truck overturned. These two young men wrote a powerful op-ed piece in the New York Times criticizing the war in Iraq. The third author of the article that was published on August 19th, Staff Sgt. Jeremy Murphy, was shot in the head (by whom is the question) while the article was being written. These deaths are troubling and I hope that there was no backlash from the military that cuased the deaths of these young men.
