Pfc. Ryan Martin, 22, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, died in Iraq when a homemade bomb went off near his Humvee Friday, Aug. 20, 2004.
Jimmy Breslin writes that there were four Marines and an Army soldier killed in Iraq in one 24-hour period over the weekend. "And so you sat yesterday with all these Department of Defense death notices for the last weeks covering the desk and you glanced at them, with the ages of the dead reaching up from the paper to grab your throat. Now and then you called one of their homes to get a small idea of what they were like when they lived, and what we have lost in a war that now pleases only the mentally unbalanced.
Printing as many names and as often as possible is a gloomy task. These are the deaths that the president and his people try to sneak past the country. The dead were brave men. The president is craven. He buries the war, and the news reporters, indolent and in fear of authority, follow like cattle going into pens."
