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

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.

Hello Again

Regular readers of this blog have kindly noted my absence over the last few months. Sorry--I've been on a different schedule since the semester ended, and I've missed you all. I see that the blogosphere carried on nicely in spite of my absence.

Book recommendation: In Pharaoh's Army, by Tobias Wolff. It could be a fast read, except that you don't want to hurry over any of his prose. Simply a fabulous book about his time in Viet Nam.
