And that's the reason Wes joined, too, he told me -- to travel and see the
world.  Fallujah was life-altering in the most dramatic of all ways for him.

Wes was killed the day after the picture of Miller was taken.

The comments along the lines of "What did he think he was signing up for?"
and "Others aren't using the war as an excuse" really get under my skin.
Walk a mile in his shoes, people.
