The Sandbox


We're days away from the fifth anniversary of the conflict/war in Iraq. No matter what your take on the situation, there's no doubt that our troops still deserve our support. I can't imagine being that young, that far away from home, with that much pressure 24/7.

G.B. Trudeau, creator of Doonesbury, has captured the day to day existence of the US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in his daily strip and on his website. You can find updates, written by the soldiers themselves, in The Sandbox. I've put a widget in the lower right corner of the blog so you can see the most recent entries. Click on them for the full story. And if you'd like, you can take a look at my copy of The Sandbox: Dispatches from Troops in Iraq and Afgahanistan in the Lit Lounge.
