- "Thanks :)
I lost an uncle in WWI and Vietnam. I used to be friends with a Vietnam vet. We used to hunt all the time and he used to tell me his stories as a Ranger sniper during the war. "

- "I worked with a man that got the call that he had to go, this was 4 years ago. We were friends well we were more than friends. He was gone for a month for training then shipped on out. Him and his unit were on patrol when they ran over a roadside bomb. He was the only one out of his unit that was killed. The rest were fine. Things like this make you wonder why peopel have to go and endure such horrible things fighting for peace, but it happens everyday. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you both for sharing this with us"

- "My dad said something similar to that.. He always said that the most beautiful thing was living another day there. Man, I wish i could enlist."

- "I asked my husband what was the most beautiful thing he ever saw was and he said, " an explosion in Iraq. I saw a smoke trail inching to the enemy and the water tower burst into hues of colors and I saw limbs raining with bricks." I thought it to be the ugliest thing for a split second until I very sadly comprehended, the most beautiful thing that had happened for him was being saved. This, for me, reinforces why he gave that answer."

- "I agree with what you said. The words death and dying are used just a little to much. Other than that wow. I had to wait a min just to let it all sink in "

- "Overall it's not bad, but I think you overuse the word "death" here, repeating the words "Dead" and "Dying" over and again, they loose their meaning, which is a shame because other than that, this a really great poem that I enjoyed reading, it really echoes the No Man's Land of trenches that made up the first world war, almost reminding me of "Death of a Ball Turret Gunner" is terms of reality and theme, thanks for posting."

- "I applaud everything that you've said here, with the exception of your first two lines. If one waits until after physical death to try to reach out and take hold of the salvation that had been offered in life, one has waited too long. "

- "And the ones who weren't forced? Who were fighting because they believed in their cause, as much as "the soldier" believed in his?"
