His unit in Baghdad, part of the military's quick-reaction force, which deployed for four-day stretches against insurgents, was hit by 37 improvised explosive devices while in Iraq, 13 in one day in Sadr City. Bunn still has nightmares about a rocket attack on his unit in April 2004. He spent two hours, he says, picking up "pieces and pieces and pieces" of bodies of U.S. soldiers. He remains agitated about...
