What was it about?

I can't imagine what it was like for you to treat all those wounded in war and watch so many die. My husband didn't kill anyone but he was with people that did. That's what he says and I believe him because I know him well enough to know it would noticeably affect him. Like I said, he was in a fairly quiet area of Iraq (I hope the next time he goes someplace safe, too). But I do wonder how the constant sound of gunfire and mortars and seeing people die (luckily not many) has affected him. He doesn't want to hear about how things are going in Iraq. He asks what the body count is for soldiers every once in a while and when he heard about the estimate of Iraqi dead he simply said, "that's a conservative estimate". I worried about how he would feel about my attending anti-war rallies. I was afraid he would feel much the same way the author of that post did but my husband was very positive about it.

I just realized the date on this posting was Nov. 23rd and may have been posted here at DU already. I was in the hospital and on good pain medication last week so missed a bunch. Even if it was already posted, I believe it is worth posting again for any that may have missed it.
