A Place to Talk About War

I would like to hear from soldiers who have been in combat situations, from their families, or from others interested in this conversation. I am a graduate student interested in war rhetoric. I have no preset agenda: I simply want to listen, to learn, and to be supportive.

About Me

Name:
Location: Texas, United States

Married, two kids. Worked in the defense industry for 20 years before taking a different path. I'll be starting my dissertation on the rhetoric of war in a few months. This semester I am teaching Freshman Composition. I DON'T CARE ABOUT BLOGGERS' SPELLING, PUNCTUATION, OR ANY OTHER GRAMMAR MATTERS--I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Can we ever change each others' minds?

Leonard Pitts, one of my favorite journalists (and 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner for commentary), had a great column today with the headline "Party allegiance, bias are swaying our opinions." He asks some hard questions of people on both the left and the right.
It's worth reading, whatever your politics.
