The tragic shootings in Virginia were matched this week by a deadly week in Iraq. Service men and women watched the investigation here against a backdrop of car bomb attacks on markets, the discovery of tortured corpses in Ramadi, and hundreds of dead Iraqis this week alone. Weekend America guest host Amy Scott talks with Major Kirk Luedeke from Baghdad, Iraq, about how violence at home looks to him.
