David Morris is a writer and former Marine, who has an essay in the Winter Edition of the Virginia Quarterly Review. On this segment of Charlottesville–Right Now! with Coy Barefoot, Morris discusses his essay and the Bush Administration’s policies regarding the war in Iraq. The article, The Big Suck: Notes from the Jarhead Underground, recounts his observations about the Marines currently serving in Iraq, gathered from spending several months with them in 2004. He delves into some of the more personal experiences Marines are going through, and tries to shed some light on how the Iraqis are reacting to American intervention.
Morris’ book on the battle of Khafji during the Gulf War, Storm on the Horizon, is in stores everywhere.
