Perhaps it happened and we did not hear about it, but, at the end of WWII, I don't remember troops coming home having all the problems they are having today. I would think that war is war, killing is killing. Emotional wounds, don't remember hearing of them. I think my worst injury in the Korean War could have been excessive smoking. We could get a carton of Luckies, aboard ship, for a dollar, so I smoked a lot then. I quit 30 or 40 years ago, but I still remember smoking all those Luckies that were so plentiful and so cheap. I'm sure I would have quit if they were not so inexpensive. Have to talk to the VA about that.
News photographers getting killed. It is tragic, but they chose to be there, right up front where all the action is, to get better shots. Were they "assigned" there, that would be different, if they were told that they HAD to be there or get fired. They put themselves in "harms" way, tragic, but they chose to be there.
The lost airplane. I still think it landed, somewhere, for some reason, perhaps had to do with the Chinese "workers" and what they might have been working on. A spaceship, I doubt it, but there was a BIG "blip" do think that someone knows, and it ain't the "Shadow."
The Weather, perhaps the most frightening thing going on at this time, probably killing more than terrorists or the war at this time. I am sitting here now, in Ohio, the sky has gotten dark, early, I hear rumbling in the distance, Caleb, our dog, is "antsy," he senses something, I think. I do find myself, each night, humming and singing in my head, Vestal Goodman, singing, "Till The Storm Passes By."
TIL THE STORM PASSES OVER AND THE THUNDER SOUNDS NO MORE
TIL THE CLOUDS ROLL FOREVER FROM THE SKY,
HOLD ME FAST LET ME STAND IN THE HOLLOW OF YOUR HAND ,
KEEP ME SAFE TIL THE STORM PASSES BY
