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.

Go visit Steve's site and write a poem

This is a light-hearted post before you get to the more serious matter below (bombing Hiroshima). Steve at Random Rants and Inquiries celebrated Haiku Day last Wednesday by inviting readers to submit their own haikus. The English teacher in me thinks this is a delightful way to brighten a dreary February day. And if you have children whom you would like to introduce to haiku in a fun way, go buy the latest Veggie Tale, Sumo of the Opera.

In keeping with this blog's focus, I offer a quick haiku about war rhetoric below.

Book just lent to me:
A Terrible Love of War.
I shall read it soon.

Go to Steve's site and have fun.
