The Cellar - View Single Post - Soldiers dealing with the trauma of killing

The great thing about the mini series: Band of Brothers is that it shows what life was like for the guys in the "trenches" - how they coped (or not), with being shot at, and how they coped with having to shoot another man. The accompanying documentary with interviews with surviving veterans really adds to your understanding of what they went through - as much as it is possible for us to understand. I just can't imagine what it would be like to go through a war. I feel a great deal of empathy for those poor men (and women), and I am extremely grateful for their sacrifices. I admire those people immensely.
