For Pacific Standard Magazine:
It was a dark time in a long, drawn-out war. Afghanistan was festering with resentment. The Pentagon brass were desperate. It was the kind of last-ditch moment when authorities start throwing an era’s weirdest ideas at its most hopeless bureaucratic mistakes.

Hi, great article you wrote. There is a formula to writing war stories and a formula to writing character pieces – you followed the formulas but transcended them and conveyed a larger message about the war, and about our changing society. Most of all, I appreciated the fact that you avoided the temptation to let the reader know the right lessons to take away about this case.
Thank you for the kind message. I think that’s right; that’s what I was aiming for. Very difficult story to write/understand, so I’m glad it did its job.
