There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like. [12/13/2002]

Number of hugs by the Fratboy Coward per his own words, delivered to date: Zero.

Will update this when we see one, however don't hold your breath

Note: I understand that the Pentagon/DoD is not releasing casualty figures for US servicemembers...why? Is there some fear of a backlash?
