…And what is the truth? The truth is relative, it was different for everyone involved, some collapsed mentally, some physically. There were some people, like this guy who died of a heart attack 10 days after an armed battle, others went through nervous breakdowns, marriages were breaking apart, some people became so tough that… that… they wouldn’t blink no matter what happens, but others burst into tears for any reason.
