Kudos for Trudeau

G.B. Trudeau, author of the political comic strip Doonesbury, has taken on the topic of MST in this week's strip. MST stands for Military Sexual Trauma. Here's the strip, reprinted without permission.

GBT doesn't assume he can really take the perspective of a MST victim, but he brings attention to the issue in a very sensitive way. His desire to write about the ills of our society is very respectable. He could always come up with a story to mock W, but he continues to explore uncharted territory. That's all I want to say.

p.s. He also has a great forum for soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's call the Sandbox. I think it's wonderful that he provides a space where they can describe what's happening in their own words.
