What about it? What about war? This morning I read an extraordinary article:

There are so many people who are so vocal about the war. So many people are against the war. So many people are for the war. So many people want to share with the world their own personal views on the war in Iraq. I guess, in a way, this article is just that - a personal opinion of the war. And yet, it is oh so different.
The citizens of the United States, as a general whole, are concerned for the safety and well being of our soldiers serving in Iraw. As well they should be. As am I. I would also guess that most soliders would rather not be in Iraq, or in any war. They would rather be at home. But they are not, nor can they be right now, so they mostly go about their 'jobs' and protect and serve.
But this article was so different. This article, entitled 'I Miss Iraq. I Miss My Gun. I Miss My War' 'A soldier's lament' shares a much different point of view. I found the reading captivating. I was unable to stop reading until I reached the end. How many people in the US consider this part of the war? How many people, especially those fighting to bring the soldiers home, consider this soldiers account? Surely not I.
The article was enlightening and, after you read the article, I welcome your thoughts and comments regarding the same.
