Scott Love

I found out earlier this week that Scott Love was killed in Iraq.

He's the first person I have known to be killed in war.

That's just fucked up.

When I was growing up, war was just a game I played with G.I. Joes. Until a few years ago it always seemed like something that belong, in real life, only to other countries or in our past.

Here's a cache of the al.com story about Scott.
