The Forgotten Soldier
With the news that 14 Marines have been killed in Iraq, I got to thinking about another situation there. How many of you knew that there is a missing soldier in Iraq? His name is Matt Maupin. He's been missing since April of 2004. Yet you never hear anything about him anymore. He's the only missing American service member in Iraq. It seems that would make a very compelling story, but for some reason it doesn't.
Here is a link to some of the background on the story.

Compelling from one point of view. Embarrassing and therefore supressed from another.
Thanks for pointing this out.
