'War is Hell'
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 05:32 PM by Oeditpus Rex
This may be apocryphal, but there's little doubt of its essential truth.

A young man sat down next to me on a plane leaving Paris for the U.S. I noticed he was a U.S. Army soldier. ... He was wildly over-stimulated and talked for ten hours straight.

Edit: Warning — graphic.

5. Yep. This will stay with people for a long time.
The quote at the end is really fucked up considering the Iraq war just ain't worth it.

3. Truth sometimes has an ugly appearance.
Highly disturbing but real. That's what it looks like.
