River War Songs: Bloody Current Churns Comments

P3 From WW2 to Vietnam a few veterans have confessed a few of their tortured stories, the nightmares tormenting their souls, that is why I recently wrote 'RAF Carrot Piercing Eyes'.

P2 The sad inadequate lack of support provided for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

P1 Thank you Richard. Patriotism has a necessary place among nations, but we need to remember the horror conscripted young men are forced to endure against there will also.

I wrote the poem 'Conscripted Soldiers Discarded: Suffering Shell Shock Battle Fatigue', inspired by my reply to a comment made on my poem 'River War Songs: Bloody Current Churns', by the poet Richard Wlodarski and dedicated to Richard Wlodarski.
