Your heart has to go out to Corporal Travis Williams, last surviving member of a squad of Marines who were decimated in less than 2 months.
Yes, you read that right. In two months every other member of his original twelve man squad has been killed. It speaks volumes about the "last throes" theory. Whether you believe that getting the troops out of Iraq is the thing to do or whether you believe that "staying the course" of godawful tactics is what's wrong - its obvious to anyone of sense and humanity that the current situation is FUBAR.
"I think the most frustrating thing is there's no sense of accomplishment," Williams said. "You're biding your time and waiting. But then you lose your friends, and it's not even for their own country's freedom."
