They do deserve better
...than to be pawns in some larger political game.
For the record, I never "feel good" about posting articles about these deaths. But, for the record, you do...and your motives for doing so have everything to do with partisan politics. My motives have only to do with how unnecessary their loss is. These people should still be with us - they should still be here to share the holidays with their loved ones. They should never have been sent out on some quixotic quest for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
