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.

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.

21 Days to What?


Here's an interesting piece of war rhetoric:

Wal-Mart sells a hardcover book edited by Time magazine and published by Little Brown & Co. on June 1, 2003. Its title is 21 Days to Baghdad: The Inside Story of How America Won the War Against Iraq. ISBN 1932273123, 176 pp.

Barnes and Noble sells a hardcover book edited by Time magazine and published by Time, Incorporated Home Entertainment on June 1, 2003. Its title is 21 Days to Baghdad: Photos from the Battlefield. ISBN 1932273123, 176 pp.

Hmmm. Wonder if they've changed the text, or simply the subtitle.
