Turnin' the corner

Reader Liz in Nashville asks now that Mitt is out and his five strapping sons aren't patriotically serving the country by helping him get elected, will they NOW do something truly patriotic and join the military?

Especially now that the awesome surge has turned Iraq into an Indiana-like marke... what?? Five American soldiers were killed in roadside bombings in Iraq on Friday??

Baghdad witnesses an increase in attacks, the U.S. military said on Saturday.

So far this month 13 U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq, according to icasualties.org, an independent Web site that tracks military deaths there. A total of 3,957 American soldiers have been killed since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Last month 40 were killed, the highest number of U.S. fatalities since September.
