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

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.

About Lyndie England . . .

My husband was on an airplane a week or two ago carrying Lyndie England from Fort Hood to Dallas/Fort Worth, presumably to begin her sentence. He said that she looks exactly the same as the photos we've seen of her walking to and from the courtroom. She was traveling alone, which surprised me.

I have my opinion of her, gleaned no doubt from the same sources that you've been exposed to. Before I talk about mine, I'd be interested in hearing what you think of her role in the Abu Ghraib scandal, and about her sentence.
