In my opinion, I think the author, Corine Wegener, for Antiquities in Wartime, could have gave more information. She did give us links to go read more about the things but I feel she should have gave us a little bit about it besides saying, ” A number of books and articles document the military planning process leading up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq (see Gordon and Trainer 2006; Ricks 2006;) Also, I do think most citizens don’t understand what goes on over there and can’t understand the soldiers perspective. If a soldier was interviewed or wrote this article it would probably be a lot different.
