Texas soldier's father calls son's death 'a waste'
Sgt. Gregory Unruh, 28, died in vehicle rollover in Iraq

Sgt. Gregory Daniel Unruh was in search of an adventure when he enlisted in the Army. But after five months in Iraq, the war was not what he expected, his father said Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Unruh died March 19 in Mandali, Iraq, from injuries suffered when his military vehicle rolled over during a reconnaissance mission. The incident remains under investigation.

He is the 96th service member with ties to the Houston area to die in Iraq.

"I think it's a waste of his life," said an emotional Anthony Unruh, his father. "I don't think anybody should die that way ... in war."

May Gregory Daniel Unruh, rest in peace. :cry: I feel very sad for his family.
