I just caught up to the weblog of Cpl. Thomas Strickland, who was killed in Iraq when his humvee overturned. Thomas was a talented writer and poet who was trying to understand the war he found himself in.
Blogs like his really bring the war home. They also show how senseless it all is.
Yesterday, the Army vowed to better control soldier’s logs. Coincidence?
I sympathize with this young man…but, where did he think he was going when he joined? What is the struggle? These are good questions for your recruiter…are they not.
