What is life like in the trenches of the war in Iraq?
Unlike the wars prior to World War 2, there are no “trenches” in Iraq. The war in Iraq is being fought on city streets with real, live civilians in the line of fire. If your question is “What is life like for combat soldiers in Iraq?” then there is no cut and dried answer. It is scary, it is confusing, it is dangerous. There is not enough space to give a good description of what American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines feel as we go out every day to face an uncertain enemy who refuses to make himself known through the use of uniforms and national symbols.
