The Media

"Now, areas are identified as “the one with the crater where the missile exploded”, or “the street with the ravaged houses”, or “the little house next to that one where that family was killed”." This line is what I found to be the story to this war. One had to always be on their feet and to always be ready for something new to happen. There is one thing I found interesting though. I feel like in the Iraq war, things that seem to be insane or that may cause great destruction, become common everyday problems (from the perspective of soldiers or people involved). I also feel that because things like that became common, our misconception of war changed drastically. Why were innocent civilians killed? Were there any sort of justifications to certain killings? Were there any justifications to the war itself? 

Whether one is on the side of pro-war or not pro-war, this war brought up many concerns indeed. What was really going on behind the lines of fire? I was only able to witness what every other American citizen in the nation was able to witness - media covering the war.
