A friend of mine who?s a librarian was recently reviewing job applicants. Asked his qualifications in library skills, one man put ?machine-gunner.? He was a vet who?d served in Falluja. The library is in a state school here in the US that, last fall, had 650 such vets enrolled. The young man got the job but soon became irked by what he saw as the trivial preoccupations of his colleagues. He applied for a job at a nearby police department. All over the country police departments are advertising for Iraq vets. Three-quarters of the way through the hiring process, the PD signaled to him that things looked good. Then, in rapid succession, three Iraq vets in the area were involved in lethal episodes: two murders and one suicide. The PD immediately called the young man in for a second psychological evaluation, then nixed him for the job. He?s 24. He can?t find anything satisfying to do and is thinking of re-enlisting. He?s against the war.
