Re: Stepping on a Landmine in Iraq
Photos of severe injuries to soldiers like this always seem to grab hold of me.. I think a big part of that is because my dad was critically wounded twice while serving 2 tours in Veitnam. He mostly did re-con while he was there, but one day when he & his plattoon where navigating through the jungle, someone accidently stepped on landmine & pretty much ruined everybody's shit. Ultimately, he ended up losing his entire left leg & a portion of his right.. He was 19. So many injuries like that can leave physical & emotional scars that will never be fully healed or forgotten, and unfortunately those are the types of scarrng my Dad has... After seeing just how badly the injury could effect him, I began too think that in some ways, no one deserves to step on a landmine. Granted alot of fucked up shit happens too people that don't deserve it but that's just my opinion. |
