Close to Home--Again

Timshel notes that two more soldiers from Louisiana were killed in Iraq today. Apparently their Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by a large bomb. There's more here:

[killed were] Robert Sweeney, III of Pineville and William Manuel of Oberlin.

Sweeney and Manuel were members of the 256th Infantry Brigade of the Louisiana National Guard.

A bomb big enough to disable a Bradley vehicle has to be very large. This is a very bad sign.

My condolences to the families.
