wow, the numbers of people being burried without being identifed is mind boggling. What struck me was the fact that people are now tattooing their names and phone numbers onto thier thighs so if they are killed, they can be easily identified and the family informed of thier death. Then the family can be spared having to look through books that are just pictures of dead people with identification numbers. Meanwhile we people camping out to get their hands on a PS3.
I'm reminded of a short writing by Czeslaw Milosz entitled "American Ignorance of War". Theres no way I'm gonna type it out here, and I didn't find it in a google search, but head to your library, its probably in an anthology there. Check it out.
