look at these battle-hardened children of war ;
with scars far older than their skin; their bloodied knuckles and bruised lips, trying to learn how to live again. they grew to feel the sound of gunfire as their heartbeat, recall the taste of copper and ash on their tongues, sanctified in blood and smoke, cast in steel and leather; winter chill in the bones and desert heat in the lungs. ∗
