Andrew Olmsted, one of the few right-wingers that I could stand reading, was killed in Iraq the other day. This is the blog post he arranged to be posted in the case of his death.

Just read it.

Really. I have tears in my eyes.

I haven't read any of his stuff, but ... wow.

There's a comment to that post that sums up my feelings rather well;

"I don't read Obsidian Wings, and wasn't aware of this man's existence till just now. I just wanted to say that his intelligence and humor and decency were so strongly communicated in this letter that he did part of what he intended in writing: he made what war takes from us painfully vivid, even to a stranger to him."
