Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te rangatira hōia taumata teitei rawa o te United States kua tono mihi ki tētahi whaea hōia i mate i muri i tana kī i te taone o Iraki i mate ai ia 'kāore he tohu i roto i tetahi ara'. I tukuna e te Tiamana Martin Dempsey, te Tiamana o te Joint Chiefs of Staff, he reta e mea ana i pouri ia i 'tapiritia e ia te pouri' o Debbie Lee, ko tana tama a Marc i mate i Ramadi i te Akuhata 2, 2006. Ko te 28 tau te pakeke, ko te SEAL Navy tuatahi i mate i Iraq, i whara mate i a ia e whakarato ana i te ahi hihiri mai i tetahi whare i te taone nui e tautohetia ana. I whakawhiwhia ki a ia te Purple Heart me te Silver Star mo tana maia. I whakaitihia: Ko te Tiamana Martin Dempsey, te Tiamana o te Joint Chiefs of Staff, i mihi ki tetahi whaea hoia mo te whakaiti i te patunga o tana tama i patua. He toa kua hinga: Ko Marc Lee, matau, i patua i Ramadi i te marama o Akuhata 2006. I riri tona whaea a Debbie, maui, i te wa i tuhia ai e Dempsey te taone nui hei 'kaore i te tohu' i a ia e korerorero ana mo nga mahi ki a ISIS. I kōrero pōhēhē a Dempsey mō te taone i te wiki kua hipa i tētahi whakamōhiotanga i te wā i pātaitia ai ia he pēhea te kino ki ngā mahi hōia a U.S. me Iraki mēnā ka taka te taone ki te ringa o ISIS. I a ia e whakautu ana ki te pātai a tētahi kaipāho, ka mea ia: 'Kāore te pa i te mea tohu. Kāore i kīia he kāripa, he pokapū rānei ki Iraki. Kāore te take i te pereki me te konumohe. Ko te wikitōria i a ISIS. He pai ake ki ahau kia kaua a Ramadi e hinga, engari ehara i te mutunga o te pakanga.' Ko nga korero i riri ki a Lee, nana nei i kii kei te wiri ia, ka tangi ki te whakarongo ki te rangatira o te taone nui i mate ai tana tama. Hei whakautu, ka whakairihia e Lee, no Surprise, Arizona, he reta tuwhera riri ki te paetukutuku mo nga Toa Toa o Amerika, he kaupapa atawhai i whakatuhia e ia hei awhina i nga hoia me te whakahonore i tana tama. Ka mea ia: 'Kei te wiri ahau, kei te rere nga roimata ki raro i oku kanohi i taku matakitaki i nga purongo me te whakarongo ki nga korero koretake, nga korero mamae i tukuna e koe mo te hinga o Ramadi.' Ko Ramadi te pokapū o ngā mahi a Al-Qaeda i te tau 2006, i te wā i tukuna mai ai te Petty Officer Lee me ōna hoa ki te hopu anō i...
I tono mihi a Martin Dempsey ki a Debbie Lee, nā tana tama i mate ki Iraq. Ko te Petty Officer Marc Lee, 28, i mate i te tau 2006 i te pakanga mo Ramadi. I whakaitihia e Dempsey te hiranga o Ramadi i te huihuinga pānui i te wiki kua hipa. I kii a Lee i te rongonga i a Dempsey e whakahawea ana ki te patunga tapu a tana tama i tangi ai ia. I whiua te rangatira i roto i te reta tuwhera i runga ipurangi, kua whakautua e ia inaianei.
