Also guys with PTSD. This tends to skew peoples' perception of the military. Like Lt. Munson said, most people in the army now joined knowing that they were going to Iraq. And PTSD only affects about 20% of military members, if you check any credible statistic on the subject. Sounds unbelievable? That's what I'm trying to get out. Reality is sometimes skewed.

Have you thought about interviewing some of the soldiers who are seeking asylum in Canada? There's a book out co-written by one of them ... Joshua Key. It's called <i>The Deserter's Tale</i>, and it really opened my eyes to how one goes from young American to soldier to war resister. Thanks for doing this series!
