War is... Soldiers

War is Soldiers. Not everybody is safe. Objects can get stuck in a crossfire, including civilians. Children are more likely because they are young and reckless. The ones more prone are the villages without any military protection or protection at all. Some even fight the enemies to disable the Americans. This boy in the picture was in an unsafe area during combat. The soldier finds him and checks for a pulse, then slowly drags his fingers over his abdomen, smoothing his shirt down to hide the wound. Times like these will be remembered for the rest of his life. The soldier pays his respects before leaving back to his regiment. In the movie American Sniper, a mother quickly gave her child an unidentified object. The boy took off toward the Americans at a run. No one on ground level saw this exchange, but Chris Kyle, the sniper, had his eyes locked on the target from above. The child was sacrificed to blow the Americans up with a grenade. Chris Kyle, had to make a tough choice in whether or not to kill the boy. 1 verses a dozen of his men. He shot the boy, but never expected that when the grenade was dropped, the mother would scoop it up, leaving her child behind, pulled the pin and would throw it. Soldiers are faced with choices no other men should have to experience. Memories fill their mind with unpleasant recollections that replace the good ones. Nightmares are retained, PTSD materializes and from there, the future would blur. Soldiers fight and can not hesitate in combat. Everyone is dangerous; whether neutralizing a 40 year old or a 4 year old.
