MY WAR
“Last night I was sitting down smoking a cigarette outside my room with a guy from my squad (from Michigan). And I was staring up into the stars over Mosul, when I saw a flash of a white streak across the night sky, and I freaked out and yelled, “Oh Shit!” and stood up. I thought it was a mortar or a rocket, but instead it was just a shooting star. My friend just laughed at me. That’s pretty bad when you start thinking shooting stars are mortars.”
I’m working on an interview with this US soldier, Spc Colby Buzzell, who has just returned from Iraq. His story has been all over the media so it’s hardly a scoop but his writing is really good. Annoyingly, much of the juicy stuff has been removed from the site. However, what remains is still very interesting, especially the posts near the bottom. Hopefully enough to make you want to buy his book, which I assume will be out next year!
