His Name Was Dustin R. Donica
He was from Spring, Texas, and he was 22 years old. The story is here.
A photo of Spc. Donica as a member of his high school soccer team (the Klein Bearkats, consistently one of the top teams in Texas) is here. He's at the top left.
The White House believes the validity of Donica's sacrifice -- and that of 2,999 others -- isn't assured:
See how this will go for the next 5-10 years?

The White House believes the validity of Donica's sacrifice -- and that of 2,999 others -- isn't assured:
Asked about the 3,000 figure, deputy White House press secretary Scott Stanzel said Sunday that the president "will ensure their sacrifice was not made in vain."Ideological underpinning of a quagmire: The deaths of the next 3,000 troops in Iraq will ensure that the sacrifice of the previous 3,000 was valid. Throw in the "flypaper" rationale, and the continuing shameless conflation of an overwhelmingly indigenous insurgency with 9/11.
"We will be fighting violent jihadists for peace and security of the civilized world for years to come. The brave men and women of the U.S. military are fighting extremists in order to stop them from attacking on our soil again," Stanzel said.
See how this will go for the next 5-10 years?

"...the president "will ensure their sacrifice was not made in vain."
By some estimates, all 3000 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Afghanis and Somalis have died ' in vain'.
..."No modern political ruling group has successfully controlled its constituency after failing to sustain the continuing credibility of an external threat of war..."[lewin]
Since none of his friends have anybody in line of fire, he really does not give a damn how many americans he ends up killing or maining!
Anybody wants to make a bet that his "new policy" in Iraq will not bring us one micron closer to a solution for the hell hole that Iraq has become.
Bush will happily go on his merry way while families will continue to loose sons, daughters, wives, husbands, mothers and fathers.
No one will stop him because he is the Commander in Chief!!!
We have no right to question or stop illegal or inmoral orders, we just salute and carry them out, that is the american way.
By the time he leaves the White House we will no longer have an effective military.
When will the War Crimes Tribunal trial of Bush, Cheney, et.al. convene at the Hague?
Don't you understand that ONLY losers face war crimes trials.
Winners NEVER DO, even if their crimes are worse!
Besides the Saddam trial was more like a Soviet show trial than a real trial. But that was what Bush wanted and that is what he got.
Bush does not give a damn about justice, and never has.
bp condi says stop moaning and the $ and lives sacrificed for iraq is worth it...she doesnt help at all by providing her table/algo of how she arrives at her valuation of a soldier's or other human's life when she says its worth it...wonder if (bloody) madam secretary is using 1939 dollars when she says such things...

Dustin Donica was a real person. He truly believed in the efforts he was putting in for the people of the USA. I want his family to know how much I appreciate his sacrifice instead of using this space to bash Bush. Whatever I think about the war or our President, I support the troops 100%. Thank you Dustin for your honor and your feelings of duty to your country.
previous poster: what does "supporting the troops" mean to you? Blind faith in their leader's incompetence, apparently.
That's NOT support.
Spc. Donica was from my home town, Spring, TX. He attended the same high school as does my daughter currently and that my son will attend next year. Given his age, he likely graduated in 2001 or 2002. No I don't know the family.
Spring, Texas may sound like some hick town in Texas out on the prairie. It's not. It's an affluent bedroom community where right-wing Republican zealots outnumber insects.
When the war was first broke out and when months later it was clear that there were no weapons of mass destruction to be found in Iraq, I changed my approach from opposing the war quietly to openly displaying my revulsion at such a senseless invasion. I'm no liberal. I'm a lifelong Republican, now independent. I'm independent now because I and my wife and children were repeatedly threatened by the local brown-shirted right-wingers for voicing our opinions against the war.
How ironic that such a milestone death took the life of someone from this community which so loved and by all accounts still does love the war in Iraq.

We are not going anywhere. In a couple of years the oil will be flowing out of the North and the rest of Iraq will be a nightmarish hellhole. We would rather have nobody control the oil in Southern Iraq. Control the resources...control the continent. Our standing and power in global affairs rests on our ability to force governments to do our bidding in the middle east. That is why Carter sent aircraft carriers there and we the military never left. The democrats understand this perfectly. There is bipartisan agreement that giving up control over the political outcome of Iraq would threaten our influence in the region. Even a screwed up Iraq gives our politicians influence. Hey...if you don't do our bidding you can wind up like Iraq. Bush didn't fail as much as people think.
I graduated high school with Dustin Donica. I am very proud of him.
GOOD FOR YOU.
I SUPPOSE HIS BODY WAS CARTED IN DURING THE DARKEST PART OF NIGHT.

From War and Piece, A NYT's article: From Father to Son, Last Words to Live By
"He drew pictures of himself with angel wings. He left a set of his dog tags on a nightstand in my Manhattan apartment. He bought a tiny blue sweat suit for our baby to wear home from the hospital.
Then he began to write what would become a 200-page journal for our son, in case he did not make it back from the desert in Iraq.
For months before my fiancé, First Sgt. Charles Monroe King, kissed my swollen stomach and said goodbye, he had been preparing for the beginning of the life we had created and for the end of his own.
..."
this is just so sad! i remember him from highschool, i never personally knew Dustin, but i had seen him in the hallways and at lunch. its just so sad to see the people you grow up with go to war and end up killed.
how much more longer must this continue...how many more soldiers must die until Bush is satisfied.
A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to find someone who admitted to
using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and
the number of people turning to synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel
prices, has risen greatly.
So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based stand-bys which are
admittedly cheaper?
1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at purchase. However, these oils
last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based
lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you
have someone else change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!
