Wonderful photos artistically. Great captures. Good journalistic approach. You know, the military is researching drugs to minimize PTSD so that they can get more out of young soldiers. We don't accept natural constraints that could help us. Rather than examine our policies we just march down the gang plank farther and farther. The costs of these wars are pathetically underestimated. Good to listen to your monologue. It's an interesting journey. But most will likely think, my what was he thinking when he signed up for the gig? That he's indestructible and wouldn't come back a basket case? You were a war correspondent for God's sake. Hubris of youth. No wonder the majority dead are 20 and under.

Very eloquent, Ashley. Thanks.
