When War Leaves You Broken: One By Metallica




Whenever there is war, it's easier to call for it than actually fighting it.  Those who do fight have to watch out for themselves and their comrades for you'll never when the enemy will strike. When it does, soldiers get crippled or killed.  Even those who come out unscathed suffer emotional and psychological traumas.  When it comes to the sufferings that soldiers endure due to war ,it reminds me of the song "One" by Metallica.

When a hardened veteran tells that war is hell, you better believe it.  It isn't like in the cartoons where you have heroes charging the lines and nothing happens to them.  In reality the injuries and dangers that they face on a daily  basis are just to horrific to describe.  The worst part is the injuries are so severe that they come back not knowing what to do afterwards.  You can't just discard them after laying their lives on the line.

There are some who just can't take what happened to them and sadly end their lives.  There are those, however, find the will to keep on living despite the hardships they endure.  It is only fitting that we do what we can for them after going through such an ordeal.  Whether you agree with the war they were fighting for or not, let's no forget their sacrifice for they deserve better.  They are the ones who keep the demons at bay so help them and don't let them feel that they've fought for nothing.
