Lt. Andrew J. Bacevich, RIP

First Lieutenant Andrew J. Bacevich was killed in Iraq. I heard of the news last night at 11 and saw a brief clip of an interview with his father. May he rest in peace. Please pray for him and his family. The Western Confucian has a post on this sad news.

I didn't know Dr. Bacevich taught at BU. Or maybe I knew that once but I had forgotten. He has written articles for American Conservative. He also served in the army, and is the author of The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War and American Empire
The Realities and Consequences of U.S. Diplomacy.
