Dear Audrey, Blaine, Cheyanne, Jay, Jim, and Karla,The ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus invented tragedy as a dramatic form. Every society sees its efforts as good, just, necessary and moral, and the foes’ efforts as evil, fallen, aggressive or unjust. In all the noise, propaganda, preparation, and patriotism stirred up around the war effort, truth inevitably disappears. Our veteran writers expose some of this difficult truth and why civilian society does not recognize it. Cheyanne and Jim both declare that because we send our veterans to war, they are not responsible for what they have to do.
