This is an astonishing statement, unless you mean that Lawrence has some
special insight into the terror and chaos of war denied the rest of us.
Lawrence was in the Marines, true. But others on the list have also
served in the military, and at least two, John Wager (who posted about
his reaction to hearing of the Kent State killings, while in Vietnam,
just days ago) and Bill Ball, have actually been in combat.
