A glimpse into the excitement, and the simplicity, of war
This is an article that I stumbled upon (quite literally — see stumbleupon.com) today. It’s a piece written about by an Iraq war veteran about missing the intensity and clarity of combat.
I don’t really feel qualified to comment on it too much. It was powerful, and gave a lot of insight into a situation that few of us will ever see, but most have imagined. Like most kids these days, I have friends in the military who have seen, or will see combat.
Read it, if you’ve got the time. It’s worth it.
[edit -- I neglected to include the author's name, Brian Mockenhaupt. The article is on msn.com, but it looks like it was written for Esquire]
