Beginning a war, I feel, is always the easiest part. It seems that the hardest is finding a way to end it and pull out the United States troops. This is seen in Korea where we still have masses of troops there protecting the border inbetween South and North Korea. These soldiers experience the same problems as emotional issues as soldiers that are still considered to be in a "war", but are over looked by the media because the confrontation seems to be over. According the Laurel's post though, there still is a confrontation there, its no longer between the South and the North though, but is between the soldiers and their emotional issues caused by the stress of the environment. The soldier beheading the prostitute is just horrifying, but the fact that stories such as this are never found reported by the media is even scarier. It gives the feeling that occurances like this might/ have the potential to be happening on a semi frequent basis and therefore is nolonger being seen as "news". It makes you think about how often atrocities like this occur and how often they really get reported. If a soldier is no longer able to see a human as human then is the outcome of war really worth it?
