The Strangeness Of Inanimate Objects!

We’ve talked before here about personal connections to the Iraq War, but frankly, for me personally: I had none. I don’t agree with it, I’ve stomped my feet about it plenty of times, written my senators and signed some petitions. But it was all very abstract. Despite deep reservations about the military I am staunchly pro-soldier, for many reasons; perhaps the most important and obvious is they are fighting, putting themselves in danger, so I don’t have to do so myself. The ideals that remain so abstract to me most of the time are very real to them, and they appreciate more than I the cost of things like freedom and liberty and all that patriotic jazz being spouted loudly around this holiday time.
