This month’s 12-Page ColdType Reader Extra - When America Goes to War, a 12-page excerpt from Collateral Damage by Chris Hedges & Laila al-Arian: 'Troops, when they battle insurgent forces, as in Iraq, or Gaza or Vietnam, are placed in “atrocity producing situations.” Being surrounded by a hostile population makes simple acts, such as going to a store to buy a can of Coke, dangerous. The fear and stress push troops to view everyone around them as the enemy. The hostility is compounded when the enemy, as in Iraq,is elusive, shadowy and hard to find. The rage soldiers feel after a roadside bomb explodes, killing or maiming their com-rades, is one that is easily directed, overtime, to innocent civilians who are seen to support the insurgents.'
