BOSTON (AP) - Andrew Bacevich repeatedly railed against the Iraq war in op-ed columns and interviews, calling it a "catastrophic failure." But the Boston University professor rarely, if ever, said that his son was serving in the conflict.
Friends say he did so to protect Andy Bacevich Jr. and to avoid any question that he was proud of his son's service.
Bacevich, himself a veteran of the Vietnam and Gulf wars, learned this week that his 27-year-old son had been killed by a bomb in Iraq.
