This is an excellent piece, very simply made, about the mundane dehumanization that happens to soldier and civilian in any militarized system. I wish I could play this for all the young people I know in my small, poor, rural area who are planning to join the military when they get out of high school. My sincere thanks to this producer for sharing his experience, and his insightful reflection upon that experience. It is so relevant to the problem of terrorism. I have heard the results of a psychological study of suicide bombers. The main thing they had in common was the experience of witnessing one of their parents being humiliated by the 'other side'.
