- "Wow. So many of those who have not served have a very difficult time trying to understand, to any degree, the feelings of those who have. This is strong and expressive and helps give insight into the hearts and minds of those haunted. This is a great poem. You've found a wonderful outlet, and I hope you'll continue your writing."

- "Wow. This is... powerful. I love how you use powerful words to get your point across: "god", "fierce", "hot". You gave the matches a vivid personality. I don't know if it was on purpose, but the capitalized "F" is really effective in emphasizing the word "Forgotten". The last line is astounding. Such a creative way to describe a person... Thanks for sharing!"

- ".. yea was thinking that along the way, the sides in any war get wraped up in a thousand happenings and words, that works to confuse some very simple facts about conflicts. Shit that goes on in the schoolyard or kindergarden in every country, but also on a massive scale in wars. It is dumb and simple conflicts in the kindergarden, and it is a thousand times more insultingly dumb on a massive scale in war. Now question is, when will people realy be fed up with being talked down to? Every journalist today buys into the lingo being offered by the general public. They use the words that works in an ongoing consensus. Yet we all know what happended when we did not shut up for a moment in school right? If we kept refering to a past wrong doing, and focused on all the obstacles in the way of ending the conflict. "He stole my cookie! He will do it again!" .. Excalation. Get the fuck over it. The important matter is simple. If the kid steals our cookie again, how will we react? Will we smash all of the windows in the house next door again, kick the random cat on our way and cry that it is justified, or be reasonable and look at the options. I can tell you, if the cry babies in question does not soon shut up, everyone is going for those cookies soon enough(Aimed that the armies/sides, not a single persona). "
