SAN ANTONIO -- An Army officer's wife could hear gunfire in the background when her husband telephoned her last week from Iraq.

But Sgt. 1st Class Michael Battles Sr. assured wife Luz that everything was fine and he just wanted to talk a little longer.

The soldier, who had telephoned to Fort Hood to tell his wife he had just mailed a birthday present to son Michael, did not call again the next morning.

Luz Battles kept waiting for the 9 a.m. call that never came and realized something was wrong.

When military officials arrived at her home early the next day, she knew that Battles was dead.

The Department of Defense said Battles, 38, was killed Oct. 28 when a bomb was hurled at his vehicle by a passing motorcycle rider near his Baghdad checkpoint. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 21st Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood.

2. Conservatives do not give a fuck about our kids in combat

They (say they) value life when it is in the womb and then disregard life when it requires care and feeding. They are chickenshit chickenhawk American hating ignorant bastards who get their marching orders either from the pulpit or from the klavern.

How many more of our men and women will be killed because of Bush's monumental arrogance and stupidity?
