Not just a soldier, a friend

Jeff Egnaczyk was good friends with Andrew Bacevich, killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq on Sunday. He mourns him:

... Carol and I invited him to our wedding but he was off in basic training at the time (he bought a pot that we use quite often, woot). I'd see him every several months after that as he had time off. I last saw him a couple of months ago when he was home on leave. I pumped him for information about what life was like over there. I had planned to do that for years. It's not that this is unbelievable. He was in a dangerous place. It's just that it's so unexpected. And god damnit it's sad to see him go. I am weeping thinking about his life cut short. I will miss you, Andy. Rest in peace.
