The Troubled Homecoming of the 'Marlboro Marine'

"Blake Miller can't stand cats. He didn't always hate them, but that was before Iraq; before he fought in the battle of Fallujah; before the first enemy soldier Miller killed lay rotting in the street for three days, his remains picked over by a hungry cat that had crawled inside the dead Iraqi's hollowed-out chest. Miller's life divides like that, into then and now. Before November 9th, 2004." Also recommended: Scott Horton's interview with this article's author, Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone magazine.
