I beleive that a wonderful follow up would be the soldier having nightmares about his guilt over having to shoot a child in order to save his fellow soldier. Even though under the rules of Engagement; that once anyone picks up a weapon and stands opposed to UN Forces; it none the less is a heart wrenching choice to pull the trigger on a child who was most likely indoctrinated into his beleifs, and therefore had no real chance of making his own decisions in life.

As a member of the American Legion, I hear these stories come back with the soldiers who now can't sleep, because when they close their eyes--the demons come out...this was a powerful story, and I think you paraphrased several soldier's personal experiences...BRAVO!
