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.

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.

Twelve billion dollars in $100 bills. . .

. . . is missing in Iraq. I caught just a part of the story on BBC News today. The U.S. evidently flew this money to Iraq, where it was to be spent on rebuilding efforts. Today--surprise!--most of it is missing and unaccounted for. Do any of you have time to check out the story and give us the scoop?
