I can see their ilk smirking from here as they revel in tragedy and seek to use it for their own personal gain.

It does make one want to puke.

Wisconsin — The parents of a soldier killed in an ambush in Iraq are appealing to military leaders to allow her two surviving sisters — also both serving in Iraq — to remain home after the funeral.

Pte. Michelle Witmer, 20, who died Friday, became the first woman ever killed in combat in the Wisconsin National Guard, Governor Jim Doyle said yesterday.

Her two surviving sisters, including her twin, Charity, will accompany the body home, and the family asked military officials yesterday that they not be required to return to Iraq.

Michelle Witmer's sister, Rachel, 24, served in the same unit, the 32nd Military Police Company, which just had its Iraq duty extended 120 days.

Charity was sent to Iraq late last year as a medic in the Wisconsin Guard's 118th Medical Battalion.
