Letter: Can’t look away

Re: “Baghdad Emergency Room”

The program is “too graphic” for the American public, so decided the Pentagon.

Every American of voting age should view and be exposed to the possible horrors of combat. The reality of war is not the menu John Wayne helped to portray to the public mind-set.

Such knowledge would temper our quick decision to go to war and give more energy to decide our problems by exhausting diplomatic means.

An informed citizenry is the cornerstone of a free people’s power of decision-making.
