Seven NCO's sat together, composed an article for the New York Times Magazine. Prior to the article's publication, One of the group was injured. He was shot in the Head during a patrol he was on. According to Mr. Kaplan, he is recovering but, very slowly.

Just recently Two others from the Group of Seven were part of an accident while riding in a transportation vechile. The Truck turned over and unfortunately, those Two were killed. Is it irony or coincidence, Three of the Seven NCO's questioning the strageties of the Iraq war, One badly injured, Two meeting their demise. I certainly hope no Religious fanatic knows the entire story and states they were punished by their opposition to the war.

I send my condolences to the family's and friends of the Two killed and hope for a speedy and full recovery to the one wounded in battle.
