Sophia Voravong and Joe Larson, writing for the Lafayette Journal & Courier, have an article on Lafayette Police Chief Don Roush being called up to serve in Afghanistan. Roush is also a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves, he’s served in the reserves for the past 18 years.
I had the opportunity to meet chief Roush on one occasion, and he’s a very impressive individual. This is one sort of loss caused by the ongoing wars that doesn’t get talked about very much. Obviously, we are losing blood and treasure because of the wars, but we’re also losing talented individuals who would otherwise be contributing to their respective communities.
