The realities of war

[ladyinred]

This is heart wrenching but it brings the reality of the war's devastating effect on both sides. This is graphic, so if you aren't used to seeing this kind of stuff , better to forego it.

This is something that is rarely shown on the CBS news,or in other news media in this country. But I feel like that people watching this will finally grasp the depth of the human suffering in Iraq and of course the costs and casualities of our own men and women and also the many who come home who are maimed and disabled for life,or are mentally and emotionally scarred.http://www.purposeless.com/

I'm no stranger to these realities either.. My dad was a Vietnam vet who later died from the effects of agent orange and exposure to radiation. It took a pretty big toll on my family when he came home from the war. You could say that military families are the living casualties of war.
