The Army on Tuesday announced the identity of the highest-ranking officer to die in the Iraq war, Col. Theodore S. Westhusing, 44, of Dallas, who died Sunday in Baghdad.

No details about the circumstances of his death were disclosed.

The Army said he died from ``non-combat related injuries.'' That is a category that includes death by accident, illness, act of God or suicide.

Westhusing was serving as a staff officer with the Multinational Security Transition Command, which is in charge of training Iraqi security forces. He was assigned to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

4. What does that say about all of that war theory bullshit they are teaching

@ Westpoint.
Either he killed himself which says a lot or another soldier killed him. Which also says quite a bit.

All of it SAD AS HELL!
