The Bush Wars
Barbara Watson
This is a book of letters between a soldier, RIP, and his family and friends during the wars with Iraq, first with President George H. W. Bush, then with George W. Bush - the “Bush Wars”.
When RIP first deployed for Desert Storm, his baby daughter, Vicky, was three months old. RIP wrote heartfelt letters to her for posterity, not knowing if he’d get to see her grow up but wanting to tell her of his hopes and dreams. She grew into a teenager before he retired, and he wrote to her about dealing with life’s curves.
As RIP’s involvement with the Middle East was waning, his good friend Steven joined the military. His involvement through his yearlong deployment to Iraq closes out the book.
