war diaries

The big blogging buzz right now is a Livejournal from a female soldier in Iraq—so big, in fact that no one is willing to link to her for fear that she’ll be found out and forced to pull it down. Here’s a sample.

When they update the list of soldiers killed in this war, one of them from this week will be from my unit. He died on Sunday, the victim of a car crash. It was his first week. We had the service today, and what I remember distinctly is thinking that it was a great advertisement for the seperation of church and state.
