leave us this greenhearted arrestee at the horsegate and go
regenerate your headstones. he is earthborn and earthbred,
no shortage of rethreshed bondages, sorehearted, deserting
of no one. he is of us, earthen, greener. in teenage gardens
he seeded our own thorns, bestrode the horseherd redbreast,
serenaded our rehearsals and treasons, gathered in regard
the strange and abhorrent throngs of our terror. bear him
shortbread and at best steerage, sergeant, and beget, begone.

"The war was supposedly over, except it wasn’t" -- Matthew Sepi, Navajo-American soldier, NYT, 1/13/2008
We had the wrong house!
We had the wrong house!
This particular
night,
it was December 2003,
there was, I’d say,
more than 100 targets.
Each little
team had
a list. And
at this one house,
we blow the gate
and find
out that
there’s this guy sitting in his car
just inside that
gate.
We move in, and he,
like, stumbles out of his car,
and he’s on
fire, and he’s, like,
stumbling around
in circles
in his front yard. So
we all kind of don’t
know what to do, and
he collapses,
and
we go
inside the house
and
search it
and find out
it’s
the wrong house.
