Death of a Soldier For several years, I had avoided returning to Iraq. During my last trip, in 2004, I had several close calls: RPGs that sailed just wide, an IED that went off an instant late, mortars that missed by meters. by Michael Kamber Origins: Vietnam and Iraq When the Vietnam War ended in 1975, there were a series of meetings in Washington conducted by the Department of Defense about how the press covered the war. by Ron Steinman
