<li>The vet’s essay was an incredibly poignant look into war and it should not have been censored. That said, maybe it should have been published anonymously, and maybe the prof should have privately referred the vet to the college administration. It’s not really fair that the prof encouraged this to go totally public with seeming disregard for how sensitive the subject matter is (I don’t doubt some employers might do a google search on his name, come across this essay, and run screaming in the other direction).</li>
<li>You can’t get more reasonable than requesting someone get a psych eval after he/she expressed an addiction to killing. So this is how vets feel? This kinda essay is normal? Well, great. That just means we need to stop fighting wars, not that we need to get all up in arms about asking this young man to get evaluated by a professional.</li>
