Crawford gets injured in combat and he is sent home. He reflects back on his experience and his only feelings are regret and anger. He is mad at the government because of the conditions that he had to live in, he disagrees with the war, and he is mad at the higher ranking officials because that did not care about the men fighting for them. I have spoken with veterans of the Iraq war and they have all had similar responses. Most of them said they did not support America being there in the first place. I understand that war is a terrible thing, but I do not think it is good for our soldiers to come home regretting the experience and angry at the country that they fight for. I think our country needs to do more for our troops than just say “I support the troops”. They are over there fighting constantly and enduring awful living conditions so we can be free and we take it for granted. I think that if we show them more support they will feel better about being there.
