Two More of Arkin’s Ingrates

They didn’t have to, but they did. For Arkin and for all of us. Most of all, for the guys who were relying on them. Meet Sgt. Keith A. Callahan and Sgt. Alexander Henry Fuller, two more of Arkin’s ingrates:

Sgt. Keith A. Callahan. 

“He was always willing to take a punch,” said Callahan’s uncle, Richard Haverty, recalling how his nephew had been willing since his high school wrestling days to put himself on the line.

On his fourth tour of duty in Iraq, Callahan, a father of four, positioned himself at an especially dangerous outpost to protect his platoon on the day he died after being wounded by an explosive device.

… Haverty read a letter from the men in Callahan’s platoon in which they recalled the “nightmare” of the day Callahan died.

“The absolute truth of the matter is that those who knew him knew Keith would not have had it any other way,” the letter reads. “We all know he died doing what he loved.”

… On the day he died, Callahan’s wife and mother received letters from him saying he wished the war would end so he could “hear their voices” and “see his children grow.” The couple … who lived in Pennsylvania, have four children, Tyler, 12, Devin, 7 and twins Brady and Brooke, 4.

Sgt. Alexander Henry Fuller.

Sgt. Alexander Henry Fuller wanted nothing more than to be a hero and a husband, and he died as both, his pregnant wife said.

Fuller, 21, a Cape Cod native, was sitting in the passenger seat of a Humvee leading a convoy outside Baghdad when it was hit by an IED Thursday.

“He was fearless,” said his wife, Anastacia Fuller, 19. She said he recently turned down a safer desk job as a radio operator.

“He said, ‘I appreciate it, but I’ve trained these men and I can’t leave them,’ ” said his grieving wife, speaking from her family’s Centerville home.

… Boston Herald photographer Ted Fitzgerald is Fuller’s uncle.

Update: Arkin’s rejoinder, appropriately titled, “The Arrogant and the Intolerant.”  Except I think he means someone else.

    Is Arkin attempting a very early Darwin Award super-entry in an attempt to win it outright so early in the year? I’d say he’s made two very strong attempts here.

  2. Bill's Bites Says:

    It’s called “Cojones Envy.” (Multiple updates)

    I guess when you don’t have what it takes to be a real man all that’s left is to try to drag down those who do. It’s beginning to smell way too much like the ’60s again.

    Damn wouldn’t I love to catch up with that stupid SOB for a few minutes. You gotta watch us old farts. Never know when one of us is gonna have a flashback and go totally dinkydau. “Temporary insanity.”

  4. CavMedic Says:

    Boy Arkin really helped himself there didn’t he?

    Oblivious and arrogant-what a winning combination.

  5. Leaning Straight Up Says:

    William Arkin responds, misquotes me and further insults the troops

    I should feel honored, he responded to me directly.  Of course he grossly misquoted me.
    I said that he was telling the troops to shut up and quit whining, whereas he quoted me as saying that to him.
    Whatever.  the point of my article was that…

  6. saltydog Says:

    I note that Mr. Arkin believes that there are two *valid* opinions about what to do about the situation we find ourselves in. Interesting concept. A and non-A at the same time and in the same form.

    So, if a terrorist is standing next to Mr. Arkin–something he doesn’t have to be concerned about–for some reason or other, doesn’t matter why–his opinion and that of the terrorist are equally valid. I happen to think that he will be an A that becomes a non-A pretty damned quick.

  7. Paco Says:

    Salty: Oh, I think he’ll always be an ‘A’, know whaddamean? BTW, when did the Post start hiring writers right out of Public School Special Ed classes?

  8. JammieWearingFool Says:

    Whiny WaPo Blogger Plays Victim Card

    Apparently this drooling moron doesn’t understand that when you slander the troops, some people might take offense. Now, he’s the victim of the arrogant and intolerant blogosphere. Poor baby.

  9. RebeccaH Says:

    I listened to him in an audio clip at HotAir. What an incredibly prissy, pinch-mouthed little twerp. It’s clear that he hates the military above all things, they can never do right in his eyes, and when he complains that they are disrespecting the American public, he really means they are disrespecting people like him. Which any self-respecting person would do.

  10. RebeccaH Says:

    And just to add to that, William Arkin isn’t fit to lick the dirt off the boots of the two heroes mentioned here.

  11. Right Wing Nation Says:

    [...] With all due respect to Jules Crittenden and other supporters of the surge, it’s this PC crap more than the number of troops that’s killing us. And we can thank that sobbing idiot Pat Schroeder (and the morons who elected that simpering, mindless bimbo) and Bill Clinton for giving us this “kinder, gentler, more sensitive” military administration. I’m 100% with Webb on this one, at least Webb during the Tailhook non-scandal (Oh no, not sexual harassment! Whatever will we do! Oh my God, you made Pat Schroeder cry!) [...]
