The War Comes Home
This is one of the more intense articles that I have read as of late.
As I prepare for Marines Officer Candidate School this summer, the major sticking point that I keep coming back to is not my objection to the Iraq War, or my reluctance to act violently, or the potential opportunity costs of a summer not spent pursuing an internship on Wall Street or with some prestigious firm. What I think about most is the impact that being a Marine would have on my family. This article drives home the implications of serving in a whole new way.
