As a Navy Desert Storm veteran I think ALL service members are doing the best they can under horrific circumstances. In several cases the workers at military morgues are young kids themselves. Please read the book "Shade it Black: Death and after in Iraq" by Jess Goodell. It relates what really happens in Iraq.
Too many times people read the romanticized sanitized version of war and get a totally unrealistic picture. This can open your eyes.

Jess Talks With High School Students

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 22, Jess will talk to Idaho high school students via Skype. James Moran, the teacher, worked with his students to create a study guide to help them with their reading. One student admitted that this is the first book he has ever read cover-to-cover. As Jim says, for a teacher, this is gold!
