RIP Walter Jones.

The video I posted is very sad. He said he will go to his grave regretting that he gave George W. Bush authorization for the Iraq War.

I'm glad he changed his view on foreign policy.

Found a good article on him, never saw this one:


Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., wrote more than 11,000 letters to the families of fallen American soldiers for a decade and a half. He believed it was his moral obligation to do this as penance for his vote to authorize the Iraq War in 2002. He began each letter as follows: “My heart aches as I write this letter for I realize you are suffering a great loss …”

Jones’ letters began in 2003 after attending the funeral of Marine Sgt. Michael Bitz near Camp Lejeune, which was part of his district. Sitting next to Bitz’s widow at the service, he grew sad watching their young son play with a toy. “I felt the guilt, but also the pain of voting to send her husband as well as thousands of other military to a war that was unnecessary,” Jones said. “I want them to know that my heart aches as their heart aches.”

No need to feel bad. It's not easy keeping up with everything nowadays.
