An old woman leaving her home with just a portrait of her husband and rugs. Russian soldiers gave her just 5 minutes to pack her bags and leave before they destroyed her home and everything in it. Her sons and husband were already dead. She had lost everything. May 1995, Grozny

I am beyond questioning the rationale for war. I do state without a doubt that it is brutal and that thanks to the media in my country (America) its been sanatized to such a degree that many think its a game. It isn't. It's brutal. Women and children are usually savaged (praise given to the Russian soldiers that allowed her to leave...the fighting was horrific in that city and atrocities took place on a daily basis), and while the body might survive, many are mentally broken.

Gonna post more pics about the reality of WW2.  Many call it a good war.  There is no such thing.  Gonna post more about the reality of war.  Too many glamorize something that shouldn't be.
