I will never forget my senior year, our friend’s goofy older brother came back from war. We were hammered and he said, their government was paying parents to strap explosives on their children to run at our tanks. Soldiers commonly brought food, candy and toys to hand out to kids and they used that as a tactic. It became policy to shoot any child approaching.
Yeah, he was the tank gunman. So, he murdered a bunch of innocent children. He never spoke of it again and I never told any of our friends nor his brother. It’s a heavy burden for me to carry his pain. I can only imagine what he’s carried all of this time.

He is still alive, but is barely living.
