Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write about the horrors of war my friend. The casualties are not just the ones who lose their life in battle. It’s returning soldiers and their families that carry those scars as well. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Thanks for reading. Generations of damaged people. War is not what people want. Presidents and premiers choose it for us.

I can speak from experience. Many times the civilians are truly the major suffering. They didn’t sign up for any of it. I’ve seen enough back in my days that I learned what a crock of shit most of it really is. Politicians and profits and land grabs.
Great write, Knight. You don’t have to be a Veteran (or active military) to understand the plight of so many.
Well spoken. -

You are asking a 14 year old boy such difficult questions…. Remember I wrote this when I was merely 14… after so many years I still do not have an answer

This is so beautiful. You captured that moment and made me feel the loss but then the beauty of life. They existed.
