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.

No more phone cards for a while!

I read today that military hospitals in the Washington D.C. area have been so inundated with phone cards for wounded soldiers that they've run out of room to put them! This is good news, of course, that people are responding so generously. But in the spirit of giving wisely, it's time to take a break from phone cards and donate money to organizations that help wounded vets and their families. I'm sure the press will let us know when phone cards are needed again.

Good work, America.
