Warriors returning from battle
Don't talk about it.
While some write their memoirs,
Or keep diaries,
So many veterans don't speak.
How can they speak?
What words can describe
The horror,
The pools of blood,
The torn limbs,
And exploded faces,
The pain,
The screams,
The terror -
Sudden death !
Agonizing, slow death?
Words ?
?
" War is not hell.
War is war and hell is hell,
And of the two,
War is worse."
Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce
M*A*S*H
