{"quotes":[{"text":"It is not the dead rather the ones who lives through war have seen the dreadful end of the war, you might have been victorious, unwounded but deep within you, you carry the mark of the war, you carry the memories of war, the time you have spend with your comrades, the times when you had to dug in to foxholes to avoid shelling, the times when you hate to see your comrade down on the ground, feeling of despair, atrocities of the war, missing families, home. They live through hell and often the most wounded, they live with the guilt, despair, of being in the war, they may be happy but deep down they are a different person. Not everyone is a hero. You live with the moments, time when you were unsuccessful, when your actions would have helped your comrades, when your actions get your comrades killed, you live with regret, joyous in the victory can never help you forget the time you have spent. You are victorious for the people you have lost, the decisions you have made, the courage you have shown but being victorious in the war has a price to pay, irrevocable. You can't take a memory back from a person, even if you lose your memory your imagination haunts you as deep down your sub conscious mind you know who you are, who you were. Close you eyes and you can very well see your past, you cant change your past, time you have spent, you live through all and hence you are a hero not for the glorious war for the times you have faced. Decoration with medals is not going to give your life back. The more you know, more experiences doesn't make it easy rather make its worse. Arms and ammunition kills you once and free you from the misery but the experiences of war kills you everyday, makes you cherish the times everyday through the life. You may forgot that you cant walk anymore, you may forget you cant use your right hand, you may forgot the scars on your face but you can never forgot war. Life without war is never easy and only the ones how survived through it can understand. Soldiers are taught to fight but the actual combat starts after war which you are not even trained for. You rely on your weapon, leaders, comrades, god, luck in the war but here you rely on your self to beat the horrors,they have seen hell, heaven, they have felt the mixed emotions of hope, despair, courage, victory, defeat, scared.","author":"Pushpa Rana","tags":["bond","comrades","defeat","despair","feelings","fight","gun","heaven","hell","horrors","kill","rebel","sacrifice","soldier","soldiers","suffer","tactics","victory","war","wars","weapons"],"id":46,"author_id":"Pushpa+Rana"},{"text":"We must all raise war against ignorance.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["danger","darkness","destruction","god","ignorance","knowledge","life","light","mountain","people","power","war"],"id":53,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"Often I would hear other people ask, “When will I be normal again?”What you don’t often hear is a blunt truth: things will never be normal again. Not the “old' normal at least. You have to invent the new normal.I knew that I needed to take an honest appraisal of my life. Were my problems really bigger than me? Of course not. That’s why I remained in constant motion. Resistance to life’s changes meant death. No matter how depressing and bleak my past looked, I knew that I needed to keep moving and adapting in order to survive.","author":"Michelle Dallocchio","tags":["change","death","desert","homecoming","military","travel","war"],"id":86,"author_id":"Michelle+Dallocchio"},{"text":"Risk is the factor of a stratagem measured by what man is powerless to control.","author":"Mike Norton","tags":["control","destiny","equation","factor","fate","measure","power","powerless","powerlessness","risk","stratagem","strategy","war"],"id":120,"author_id":"Mike+Norton"},{"text":"Sisters in battle, I am shield and blade to you.
