Shit, " he said. "I don't know why you're feeling sorry for yourself because you ain't had to fight a war. You're lucky. Shit, all you had was that damn Desert Storm. Should have called it Dessert Storm because it just made the fat cats get fatter. It was all sugar and whipped cream with a cherry on top. And besides that, you didn't even have to fight in it. All you lost during that was was sleep because you stayed up all night watching CNN.Sherman Alexie
About This Quote
During Desert Storm we lost sleep. We didn't know what happened to our loved ones and we were afraid that we were going to be killed or captured or injured in some way. We didn't know where the war would go and we had no clue what would happen next. Many of us felt very sorry for ourselves because we felt helpless and lost. We couldn't do anything about it and the only thing we could do was wait and hope that it would end soon.
