[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1171217, member: 20599"] To Hoss, and our other veterans, you have my thanks, and my constant thoughts. What a soldier, often just a youngster, is asked to do...and often made to do... The past few years, as a new generation of vets has returned home, I have set myself the task of trying to struggle with these questions, as I think we as citizens do not have the right to gloss over what is done in our names, but must honestly face up to the ambiguities, and often, horrors, of war---to listen to their stories when they are ready to talk, to move heaven and EARTH to get them the help they need, and to support their families, who are often traumatized as well... There is a lot of writing being done by vets, and I hope it in some way helps them to come to terms with things. One of the best things I have read is this moving story---http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/09/09/the-return-9 my best to all... [/QUOTE]
