The Horrors Of War (pt. 1)

Narrator

“But for the Kroll, that was only the beginning…”

PFC Albert Wilson

“So, you know, I’m just sitting there with my unit. It had been quiet all day. We didn’t think the enemy would do anything. I mean, we shoulda. ‘Cause, you know, it was so quiet…”

Lt. Thomas Kulper, MD

“February 27 was the worst day for me. I almost went to veterinary school, you know? The puppy bombs were terrible, a low point. That’s when I knew the enemy wasn’t human. But… Jesus. I’m sorry. Can you turn that off a minute—”

Sergeant Jessica Dupree

“I want to go home. God. I thought it was bad before. I can’t do this, but I know my men need me. The horror. The horror.”
