'Fahrenheit' Marine Killed in Iraq

A US Marine who appeared in Michael Moore's award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has been killed in Iraq. Sergeant Raymond J. Plouhar, 30, died in a roadside bombing in Iraq's Anbar province on Monday.
Plouhar appeared in the 2004 movie attempting to recruit young men in a Flint, Michigan, shopping mall parking lot.
Plouhar's father Raymond said his son did not realize Moore's movie was critical of the war.
For those that don’t know, Plouhar is the Marine recruiter that said “It’s better to get them when they’re in ones and twos and work on them that way,” as he and a fellow recruiter cruised the parking lot of a mall for potential recruits.
He is survived by a wife and two children, ages 5 and 9. They live in Arizona.
