Pictured above are Air Force Major Don Treanor (left), and Army Major Stephen Treanor (right). Brothers, they are serving simultaneously in Iraq for the 2nd time. The Treanors were raised in Prattville, Ala., and graduated from Auburn University in Alabama. Devout Christians, they both say the Air Force and Army values, respectively, align perfectly with their Christian values. More here.Ernie Pyle would have loved doing a story on these guys. Pyle's stories on Buck Eversole and Capt. Waskow come to mind.
McClatchy has never gotten around to telling America about men like the Treanor brothers. McClatchy has been preoccupied with stories on Blackwater and Halliburton and Haditha and Abu Ghraib. Any mistake by US troops, no matter how trivial, has been covered. No time to tell America about the character of the American men and women serving in Afganistan and Iraq.
