Defenseless Quotes
When the (depth charges) started coming down, you had to sit and take it... The explosions threw you about and knocked you to the floor. Switches fell off the equipment, light bulbs burst and everything would go dark. Water sprayed from leaks. You were defenseless and had to take what was coming. You certainly couldn't take a walk in the forest to wait it out.

Very few veterans can return to the battlefield and summon the moral courage to confront what they did as armed combatants. Wallowing in their pain and at times in self-pity, they are often incapable of facing the human suffering and death they inflicted, especially on the defenseless and the weak. They have a habit of disregarding, as they did during the war, the people who live in the lands they brutalized. Walking among the very human beings who bear the scars of war, they see only their own ghosts.
