My mind is in a weird place in part to the US war in Iraq “ending” today.  So many lives were lost and it would be easy for me to say it was for nothing, but I was not there on the ground.  I did not lose anyone, and I think the main reasons we are desensitized to the horrors that ravage this planet daily is we only see it on screens.  I think that’s why it is so hard for soldiers who come back home to relate to civilians.  They saw the real world.  Not this Disney land reality we live in where we argue about Kim Kardashian being an attention whore and complaining because we can’t stop eating doughnuts because they are so delicious.  The real world.  A place that is not simple, forgiving, or beautiful.
