Crawford writes about his sleeping conditions during the early summer months. There would be 9 men to a small apartment without power. At night it would be so hot that they would all sleep naked with bottles of water next to their heads for them to drink during the night so they don’t die from dehydration. He says that puddles of sweat would spread several feet from their bodies. I find this to be awful. How can we do this to the men who are supposed to be fighting to save us? I think they should be treated like heroes. They shouldn’t have to sleep like that, nine to a room, and fighting dehydration. I understand that war is tough and the men who fight have to be even tougher. I understand that circumstances may not allow the soldiers to have the best possible lives while in country, but I feel like while they are on base, they should at least get a little love. I hope that our soldiers are receiving better treatment from the people they have sworn to protect.
