Stop Loss: Winter Soldier, Part III

Emotional numbness, flashbacks, nightmares…self-esteem evaporates, jail time, criminal charges, thoughts of suicide…suicide.
When soldiers die after combat, after discharge…after they’ve lived on the streets homeless or at home mindless…they are not counted as casualties. A hose, a rope around the neck and hanging from the garage rafters...a round in the head…needle in the arm. Combat doesn’t leave them until they can shut it off.
It happens especially in this war that has not a single moral footing. A veteran comes home and wonders, why? The question wanders around the soul, through the mind, and over and over again in the heart until the answer comes…in the offing.
