“I want to be judged, but not too harshly. I want you to call me a baby-killer, but not to my face. I want the veteran identity to be surgically extracted from my body, but I want you to buy me a beer so we can talk about the war, and the good times, and the bad times, and the rotten culture of the military, and the feeling of being young and in uniform and sexy and structured and free and a slave. I want you to get me to admit that I miss it.”
― Miles Lagoze, Whistles from the Graveyard: My Time Behind the Camera on War, Rage, and Restless Youth in Afghanistan

Brendan Bigney
“There are no heroes
Only those that accomplish incredible feats
Under incredible amounts of pressure”
― Brendan Bigney, War What Comes After
