Anthony Lake's Boston Globe op-ed, describing a conversation he had with a former student who commanded a platoon in Iraq:
His mission, he said, came down largely to trying to keep his platoon alive. And it was one of the few in his area that suffered no fatalities.I'm sure that the Massachusetts Family Institute folks, and Archbishop O'Malley, and the rest of the gang will be outside the White House protesting this attack on traditional marriage any day now.
But the personal costs were still high. Almost one third were wounded, some severely. And of 14 who were married, 10 are divorced or separated.
