War comes home– invades it, literally– and every day is another combat. Only, there’s nothing available, nothing real to fight. And you never know when the next attack will come, only from whom it will come.

About This Quote

War comes home— invades it, literally— and every day is another combat. Only, there’s nothing available, nothing real to fight. And you never know when the next attack will come, only from whom it will come. The idea of war as a personal battle is a traumatizing one. The idea that we must fight for our country and the people we love and then we must fight against those who would do us harm is heartbreaking.
