The public, in particular the Democrats, need to demand the Army release the report that was filed after the incident. The American government has spent too much time lying to its soldiers, Marines, Navy seamen, airmen, and everyone called to the colors. There were no WMD in Iraq, but there was oil, and securing access to it is a hell of a thing to ask a man or woman to die for, but some did, and their caskets were wrapped in flags and shrouded with the greater lie that they were defending our freedoms. Their honorable service to dishonest politicians is a moral contradiction creating a rot at the core of our democracy. We do not honor their memories by allowing a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, serial philanderer, insurrectionist, and pathological liar to even trod the ground where they rest, nor can we tell lies to the families of the fallen.

Or they will have died in vain.
