It’s been a long time Steve. We think of you often with fond memories during what was tough time for all of us. Nora and I have been in NM since 1992 and doing our best to enjoy life. Our son Brian is in MA and works as a carpenter. Best wishes!

Comment on Five thoughts about the war in Ukraine, on the fifth day by Stephen Sossaman

Sue, good to hear from you. I wonder what the Russian slang for “fragging” is, if there is one. Given the Russian army tradition of repressing initiative in NCOs and soldiers, there might be no significant fragging, unless a general happens to pass by.

Comment to #5. Four Russian Generals have been eliminated by Ukrainian Soldiers. It would seem that Russian Soldiers might be wary of their foes and possibly consider what you have written.

Hi Steve,

US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the 20th anniversary of 9/11 seem like “teachable moments” to me. Are you interested in participating in another panel discussion for local TV broadcast?

Feel free to give me a call, and I hope that all is well with you!

Best,
John

You say “Debriefings” is out of print, “but I will send you one of my last copies for $15, signed, postage paid.” Where do I send my money for a copy of Debriefings (and My Tho Laundry and Other Poems of the Second Indochina War”)?

I don’t know if Logan ever says a lot of nice things about any poets, but his catty attacks are fun to read. Start with what he says about some poet you think is overrated, and most of them are.

So why is it so hard to include a few poems in a review. Poetry is too subjective to take a reviewer’s word for it.

Comment on Who Made Donald Trump a popular candidate? by Francis1987

Forget Republicans in Congress they are hopeless, many Trump voters must by now know they made a mistake. Do his voters in West Virginia agree that he has saved the state, no they couldn’t, it still sucks for them. Going to be worse when medicaid gets reduced.

I agree that this movie panders a little, but you seem to favor artistic standards and I favor a movie’s effect on people, so let there be propaganda if it is for the right cause.

So what’s the real story about Garwood, if anyone knows? If this book doesn’t settle it, is there a book that does?
