On The Side Of The Road In Iraq

This article is the speech that Duane gave at our Winter Soldier event on Thursday, November 13 2008. His speech was of his experience in Iraq as a medic. It involved a huge miscommunication, and perfectly represents the misrepresentation of Iraqis as terrorists. It was quite gruesome, and descriptive. Also, another thing I got from the speech was that Duane was not that skilled in Arabic, and then had a hard time communicating with his patient. This, to me, showed the lack of cultural training for U.S. troops.
