Welcome to the Triangle of Death: "Ever wonder what emotions soldiers have when their lives could taken from them in an instant. What are we thinking when there is gunfire coming from nowhere, mortars falling from heaven, and nothing between us and it? Are soldiers religious people or emotionless robotic creations programmed through nine weeks of basic training and months of follow-on training?
Pat Dollard spent some time in Iraq and compiled of bunch of videos taken by Soldiers, Marines and himself. Some videos were shot in the heat of combat, some relaxing at the computer lounge, and other in their bunks. They aren�t overly produced with elaborate soundtracks and special effects. These are raw videos. "
“...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”--Stephen King
