When Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft’s twin son and daughter were fifteen months old, she used to be deployed to Iraq. A clinical psychologist in the USA Navy, Kraft’s job used to be to uncover the wounds of war that a surgeon would never see. She put away thoughts of her children back home, acclimated to the sound of incoming rockets, and learned find out how to listen to essentially the most traumatic stories a war zone has to supply.
One of the toughest lessons of her deployment used to be perfectly articulated by the TV show M*A*S*H: “There are two rules of war. Rule primary is that young men die. Rule number two is that doctors cannot change rule primary.” Some Marines, Kraft realized, or even a few of their doctors, would be damaged by war in ways she could not repair. And infrequently, people were repaired in ways she never expected. RULE NUMBER TWO is a powerful firsthand account of providing comfort admidst the chaos of war, and of what it takes to endure.
