This is a picture of a Iraq solider. As you can see he is crying. I would like to know why is he crying. I am going to guess maybe he is has gone through enough and he has saw some terrible things that has hurt his soul. Soldiers are human. So they will feel pain at whatever they see, hear, experience. No matter how much training they go through, it will never really prepare them for the damage they will face. Is our war tactics the cause off some outcomes during the war. Is are thinking cause emotional and mental pain? I like for America and the other nations to think about that. Are our plans the cause of soldiers tears and blood and for innocent lives to be taken. Or are we helping them. Maybe making it worse? I got the picture from this website

I agree with you, these soldiers go through a lot and are still expected to stay strong. Things can get emotional sometimes though, and it becomes hard to stay like that sturdy rock when the things you see in war are gruesome. I love this topic Shannon, good choice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tori. I agree. They yell at them, they see things, they know things, they have to live in it. These soldiers face so muhc pain and emotional pain. Its sad...
ReplyDeleteSoldiers go through a lot, and people really did the understand their trauma until after the Vietnam War in the late 60s and 70s. The term is called Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, but keep up the good work.
