Apparently they mis-spelled it “S-C-A-N-D-A-L”… It’s an easy mistake to make. I mean nobody’s perfect.
UPDATE: I need to make a correction. Apparently “Scandal” [...]
“MANILA (AFP) – Philippine President Gloria Arroyo has condemned the latest bomb attacks in
Iraq and expressed condolences for two Filipinos who were among the victims.”

The first word is hero. After reading all of his letter he left his girlfriend, “hero” is the only work I can think to describe Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr.
The second word is turncoat. While I think “traitor” is a little too harsh, I do think this word suits him.
