Major Andrew Olmsted, RIP
Major Andrew Olmsted was killed in Iraq trying to convince three insurgents to surrender on Thursday where he was training Iraqi police. He left instructions for a final post to his blog to be made. He sounds like he was a pretty cool man. The real shame of war is how many interesting and worthwhile people are killed: Tolkien and Lewis survived the Great War, but how many hundreds or thousands died who were equal—or perhaps even better?
