A Deep and Timeless Truth From Hell

"In Iraq, our descent into hell, our 'Apocalypse Now' moment, has begun."

The narrowness of his vision is exactly how even the best and most humane soldier unwillingly becomes a monster, and the people who create war know this. Out of grief and rage, with the stench of his buddy's shredded flesh in his nostrils, the soldier stops asking questions and then begins making up his own rules with a rifle. He has touched the heart of darkness and there's no going back ever. Embracing the whore called war destroys morality, and doing all this in a dishonorable cause compounds the damage.

— Tony Swindell, "Our Descent Into Hell Has Begun"
