In May of 2003 CHris Hedges, author of "WAr is A Force THat Gives Us Meaning," a book-length essay on the spiritual deformation and destruction of war, spoke at the graduation of Rockford College. He was nearly attacked and fog-horned and hooted constantly. He quoted the first two lines of section 6 to emphasize the truth of his observation of the destruction of his fellow journalists as well as many soldiers. War ruins all life it touches, physically and /or morally. His speech is a devastating inditement, especially of the US rape of Iraq.
