this made me think of an editorial I read during the Iraq war (maybe someone else will remember the author's name). The author was a university professor who was urging his son not to join the military. One of the points he made is that if his son was injured the military would not take care of him. It was tragic ... the son ended up joining anyway and was killed in Iraq. I remember feeling like shit when that happened. Just kept thinking how awful the Dad must have felt. I can't quite remember the fathers name .. but I'm pretty sure it was Scandinavian. I keep thinking Uwe S.....?
