Stop, I might cry, and I have only one good eye, the glass eye falls out when I cry.
You have a glass eye? since when?

Or am I mis-understanding a figure of speech?

Well, yes bad things happened In germany. But I wouldnt say 'they suffered more ' - its impossible to tell since both things that happened to Iraq and Germany are very terrible and things that shouldnt happen..

yeah it was..her sister's child calling her mommy, that's really hard..can't imagine how hard. unbelievable how such a young child can understand all the horror that's happening to her. she's older now and a lot better, though i'm sure those kinds of scars don't go away.

Of course they dont. Those neurosis stay with you for life.. its impossible to get rid of all those scars..

My sympathies for you, your mother and your cousin.

It always breaks my heart to hear stories like that. All I ever experienced of war was 'from the sidelines', if you will.

I remember being 5 years old - I was in Amsterdam with my mother and suddenly the air raids went off and we were ordered by the police to seek shelter in the subway system. I remember my mother telling me it was an exercise so we would know what to do if the communists were to attack.

And later, in the 1990s, I remember it was a normal day, quite beauitful weather and we were outside. Suddenly alarms start ringing and a massive fleet of B52's darkened the skies. We hurried inside, switched on the television and saw our Prime Minister addressing the nation; NATO had begun to bomb Serbia. The provincial government started handing out flyers "What to do in case of a counter strike" which spoke of missile attacks etc

That's it. That's pretty much all my war experience. It's extremely petty compared to some stories in here but still it sent shivers down my spine at the time.
