Photo Essay: Wounded GI’s - In Their Own Words - P2P-Zone

No point in regretting: somber remarks from those who won't be the same.

- js.

”[Back] in California, nobody really knows what soldiers are going through. They see on TV, oh yeah, two soldiers got wounded today and they think, “Yeah he’ll be alright”. But that soldier is scarred for life both physically and mentally. But they don’t understand. They see one soldier wounded and they’ll forget about it like as soon as they change the channel. Some people get brave and they’ll ask me “What happened to your hand?” And I say “I was in Iraq, got injured, lost my hand”, whatever. And they’re like, “The war’s still going on?” And I’m like, oh my God, are you fucking serious? What do you live in a fucking cave?”

this stuff barely makes the news anymore, but the war drones on for no apparent reason. the American body count still averages about one per day, in spite of all the "progress" we have made in Iraq.

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War is something that I despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die
(war - springsteen)
