Just a note to my vet friends |
|
if you are prone to flashbacks... the weapons fire in Cairo might trigger them.
Watch with care.
I was ducking.

1. I have not seen these videos but I can only imagine they are awful... |
|
I can't imagine reliving that horror via flash back....

3. Yes, as I watched I realized that I had not seen coverage like this |
|
since the Vietnam war. Graphic. I think this is even more vivid that watching Dan Rather in that era because it is live. We are not just watching a video of one action - we are seeing and hearing all of it right in front of us. I have reasons to have flash backs but I can tell you that it is upsetting me. So wired I cannot go to sleep. I am going to be afraid to turn on my tv tomorrow morning. Gotta pray for the best I guess.

5. Just realized I said I had reason for flash backs. I meant to say I |

had no reason for flash backs and the visuals still upset me.

Last night I had a hell of a time going to sleep... but once I fell asleep, fortunately I did not wake in the middle of the night!
