1. Anecdotal affirmation
I talk to a lot of strangers, and thus have had many interesting conversations over the years. This year while traveling the week before Christmas, I found myself standing next to a soldier in desert fatigues at the luggage carousel in Manchester, NH.

Naturally, I struck up a conversation. He told me he had been wounded in the side by some kind of explosion in Iraq, and had just gotten out of the hospital stateside and was now home for a visit. A small, wirey man, he was clearly still suffering the trauma of his wound.

I asked him the inevitable question: How's it going over there? He lowered his head and shook it sadly side to side, finally glancing up to catch my eye and to utter a short reply: "bad, real bad."

We talked some more, then I clapped him on the shoulder and shook his hand, wishing him good health and good luck. We got our bags and went our ways.

Runs about 30 min but it is well worth it. It delivers a clear picture of what's happening in Iraq and what happened in Fallujah. I highly recommend listening to this.
