I agree with the good Professor: the effect of this war and the soldiers that fought it on the children of Iraq is a force to be reckoned with. My husband was in Ramadi at the start of the “awakening” and most of the pictures he sent home had lots of children in them and the soldiers interacting with them in a positive way. My husband is 6’5″ and most of his body was covered in digi and weapons–the only part of him that showed was his two adorable dimples and wide smile. That was enough to draw the kids to him. Never again will those children believe that American Soldiers are monsters. It make take 20 years, but change will come.
