Their agony; our passive interest


Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard's agony was captured on film and published by the American press. The nation, oddly disconnected from the wars in Iraq and Afganistan, was allowed unflitered access into the struggle in which our troops are engaged.
It was a passing, passive interest. Labor Day, after all, is upon us.
May this Marine rest in peace. May his sacrifice not be in vain.
