I read one of the stories because there was a quote that said people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are a finite resource, and it went in a different direction I had assumed. I thought it was about being hopeful about the old guard who were pro-Iraq and Afghan war leaving, but it was actually about “losing the expertise” - which didn’t sit well with me. As a Canadian the way I see US military life talked about in a lot of media reads as so uncritical of the systemic violence.
Working on something like this for my tree magazine, focusing on NPS, NFS, Smithsonian, etc. It's a print magazine, so we're moving at print pace.
