Great story and insight - thanks for sharing!
I honestly believe that we should have a civilian version of these details.
It should be like jury duty. All voters are eligible for selection.
Their job would be to be “Witnesses”.
They would have to see the effects upon the family.
They would have to videotape a report.
Too many of our fellow citizens have no contact with the military.
They don’t know any Soldiers.
We don’t have a military caste in this country.
I am the son of a millworker and medical transcriptionist.
I am just like every other American.
People should remember that about their Soldiers.
