An excellent and eloquently worded portrayal of a sad reality. Soldiers now gaming addicted ‘kids’, desensitized to their violence by the 3 degrees of separation, thousands of miles and an ocean. No feelings of remorse this is what they grew up on, bodies are gone as soon as they turn off their screens, at night they sleep without troubled dreams. But with every click of that trigger, whether in game or real, they loose a part of themselves, it’s their own humanity they kill.
Thanks to you for not just seeing but speaking the truth.
