  • They're not supposed to have names

    Dear Joan,

    The troops aren't supposed to have names or lives or families. They're not real people. They don't really die or get their legs blown off. Why should Ari Fleischer be expected to know John Kreisel's name? To Fleischer and company, they're like those little green plastic soldiers he played with as a child. I bet Ari didn't make up names for them, they were too small and insignificant.
