Books for Soldiers

Many neocons think that a person who opposes the war, does not care about the military that has been sent by our country to fight the war. The war was not properly planned nor executed.
But that is not the fault of our men and women who serve. Whether or not they believe in their mission is irrelevant. They are soldiers and even though some may have callous hearts and insensitive attitudes toward the people of the land they occupy, I pray that these individuals are a rarity. Whether the military guards involved in detainee abuse were merely following orders, either implied or expressed, does not excuse the demeaning conduct and assaults that the world finds collectively abhorent. That they will be scapegoats to those who clearly were responsible is even more reprehensible. But for all those other morally bound and socially conscious military personnel, I provide the following link. I close with heartfelt apologies for the hubris of power that placed you in harm's way, and that will forever affect your perceptions and ideals.
