War torn

Perspectives of a nation in combat.

We see it. Read about it. Talk about it.
The war our nation fights is all around us.
Yet it isn’t.
Daily life remains unchanged,
unless you’re directly involved.

The following essays are not about
the right or wrong of the war in Iraq.
Nor whether we should be fighting it.
They are simply about some Horned Frogs
whose lives have been affected.
And how.
