Summary:Reading a book grappling with the long-term consequences of conflict and violence, as the nation's longest war quietly hummed in the background, left me with a sense of irony and dread. There's a powerful photo that people often use in journalism or writing classes that shows a scrum of media people all looking and aiming their cameras, in one direction. From atrocious veteran medical care to lacking support programs for military families to basic acknowledgement and ownership of disastrous foreign policy plans and decisions across multiple administrations, just to name a few, where is the outrage? Kate Schifani's "The Kill List" (Southeast Review,); Jen Hinst- White's "Fifteen Eggs" (Consequence Magaziné), and Jerri Bell's recent story, "Bringing Home Baby" (War, Literature & the Arts - Folio 2020).
