RE: "Leave Not a Man Behind" (poem) >>> "War-Torn" Trailer ... a Documentary About Heroes & the Price of Heroism (100 Days of Poetry Challenge - Day #1)
Wise words my friend. I really do hope people stop to think about it.
There is something ineffable able the subject, something that cannot be put into words. It is something that simply has to be understood. Many soldiers, if not most, do not like discussing war with civilians. It's not their fault, but they simply cannot understand.
One of the strange things, though, is that amongst the carnage, you see some of the most astonishing acts of human nobleness, and not just from soldiers. You see what people really can be, not just the ugliness, but also the beauty. We salute the wrong things.
I very much look forward to seeing the documentary. Thanks for all your doing, mate. I owe you.
