Selections from the manuscript entitled "Meditations on War"; The Flashbacks, Nightmares, and Cynical Rantings of a Vietnam Survivor," published in Words 38, Spring 1995 is now available online.
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."
—William Tecumseh Sherman
