Review of Johnny Comes Home

This piece demonstrates soldiers' and citizens' abilities to justify the cost of war. By questioning the death of two little girls and saying that he has to trust in the information given to him by his coworkers, John demonstrates the naivity and leemingness of those who do this country's dirty work.
I think this would be an excellent "All things considered" piece.
