This is the first time I have shared anything from my time at war on a public forum like this. What he was saying about filters really got to me though. I have thought about writing a book about my experiences from my times in Iraq. I read so many different perspectives about it. There are some that I have I would like to share, but I haven't.
I think it is very important to get the information out there in the public space. If we read about the horrors it can counteract the propaganda that is thrust upon us. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations for keeping your humanity. What a test!
It sounds like the same situation of Israel treating combatants of both sides. Too bad more do not know of these things. It's something to aspire to.

I grew up with people who went through really dark stuff in Vietnam most people will never be able to wrap their heads around.

Journal? Many a blog have begun this way. GBU
Thank you for sharing, John. We need your perspective.
Start with a Substack.
It is a smaller entry into the written word. Sometimes the book writing part can seem formidable.
(Retired military here - just my 2 cents.)
And one can always republish all the substacks as a book later.
Yes. Each Substack article could essentially be a chapter.
