The New Unknown Soldiers of Afghanistan and Iraq
Did you know that private contractors in Afghanistan outnumber U.S. troops three to one?
This past Monday, as on every Memorial Day, American political and
military leaders paid tribute to the sacrifice of service members who
gave their lives for their country. The day of remembrance is not only
to honor the past dead, but also to recognize the tens of thousands of
service members still deployed in combat zones today, regardless of
whether politicians label them as “wars” or whether these operations are
in the forefront of Americans’ minds. On Memorial Day itself, the
Pentagon released a somber statement:
“Sgt. 1st Class Pablo A. Ruiz, 37, of Melbourne, Florida, died May 24,
in Bagram, Afghanistan, from a non-combat related incident.”
