It must feel horrible to think that, just because you are alive, you have let down those that were not so lucky? Or did I misunderstand? I do know that there is a lot of guilt associated with surviving soldiers of violent wars. I think the complications of war can never be explained... never be unraveled.

Does anyone escape unscathed?
ReplyDeleteNope! Not a single person. I think our whole country suffered needlessly.
