"On his second night in Iraq, one month ago, Sergeant Pogany, 32, saw an Iraqi cut in half by a machine gun. The sight disturbed him so much, he said, he threw up and shook for hours. His head pounded and his chest hurt."
This is war that the president doesn't talk about. This is war that our history books don't talk about. War can not be glorified. I cannot think of any reason which would justify the brutal death of this man. But even more atrocious are people who would criminalize the natural reaction of horror this sergeant had upon seeing half of a man blown apart. Do you think the sergeant will ever forget that? Do you think he doesn't wake up in the middle of the night with the image in his head?
don't you ever forget either. This is our america, one that punishes people for having compassion on others, one that promotes such carnage as noble battle. this is why I left the Air Force.
