"But then again, that is what war is, the mocking of plans."

When the caption reads, "EVE OF BATTLE Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, center, before the fight in which Sgt. Joshua Brennan, far left, and Spec. Hugo Mendoza, far right, would die," you don't even have to read the article. Everything has already been said.

But I did read the article. It's about Sgt. Giunta and why he is the first living recipient of the medal of honor since Vietman. The title of this post is a line from the article. I wonder what plan all these people had made before the war, and who their families are, and what plans they had made.
