« Digitizing History | Main | The British View on Iraq: "War-torn Iraq facing collapse" »

This heartrending story of a soldier's mother dealing with the stress of this ridiculous war in Iraq brings home the fact, as she writes:

This is real. This is war. And all the killing and dying is real. It isn't just happening to someone else. It's happening to us. It's happening to young people we know, people who are just starting out in life. Young men and women planning weddings, having babies, thinking about their lives "after the Army." This particular young man was only 23 years old.

These are the kinds of stories the mainstream press avoids. They don't sell well with the advertisers.
