I chose to read Truman’s blog at http://rebelcoyote.livejournal.com/2003/11/17/. I found his entry to be very informative. Upon reading his entry you come to see that even though he believes the war is flawed, he still likes the idea of serving his country. “I came to realize that although the method was flawed, the result was freedom for the people of Iraq for the first time in 30 years.” (rebel coyote)
In this entry he tells the story of how he lost his best friend Wise, in a surprise attack while patrolling in a humvee. He gives meaning to every soldiers death, and gives a first hand experience of what is really going on in Iraq. What most people over look is the amount of progress being done their.
Most people think that absolutely nothing is being accomplished with our troops being in Iraq, but he proves the media wrong. He mentions the community center that his unit created to give Iraqi children something to do.
Reading this entry shows that while he thinks the war is being fought for the wrong reasons he Is still willing to fight to bring freedom to those in need.

I understand the war is flawed and that he wants to fight for freedom but who gives us (USA) the right to judge a country and say they need to be free? America is not a perfect nation we need to fix our flaws before we go into counties trying to fix them. As my mom always says it starts at home before you can help anyone else. We need to fix up USA first!
