First it was the war.
The surrealism of watching POWs on tv and looking at the brutalities and casualties.
Looking at missiles and war planes and sand storms.
It did not seem real.
I think i grew up taking peace for granted, so much so that it did not feel real to read about people dying in war barely one week after the war started.
Perhaps war has always been around somehow but even operation desert storm seem like some theatericals than something real.
Why am i shock within my core now that some marines or iraqis has been killed in action.
That's what war is about isn't it?
Exerting one's control/power and sacrificing human lives for a cause?
Isn't it just a numbers game?
Who has more people, more human shield, more missiles, more planes, more warheads, more chemical weapons?
Why does it shock me to the core then when the first casualties rolled in?
Because until that moment, it didn't seem real.
And from this moment on, I really don't know what will happen...
