Sean Huze is the author of the play "The Sandstorm." It was a well written play with so much emotion. When I first read the play I was very over whelmed with all the action and graphics. To read that a soldier killed a child is sad. If it were me and I has deployed to war, then forced to kill everything and everyone I would be scared for life. These soldiers and people with lives and children just like more of the U.S. is filled with. When they are deployed they have to do things that they aren't comfortable doing just to keep us safe. Is it even worth going to war and fighting? These soldiers are doing anything that they are told when they themselves don't even believe in what they are doing.
There is this one scene that I can't seem to shake. Soldiers were told to go collect the mail trucks. On the way they were ambushed having numerous truck blown up. One soldier was forced to make a decision and he did. He called in the order to have mortors sent in to help and that ment to have hundreds of innocent victims murdered. I do agree fully with his decision. I don't feel as if he had any other choice. It was either him or his team or everyone else.
After the mortors hit and all the fighting had stopped one soldier went to look for survivors. While looking for survivors he picked up a foot and couldn't stop wondering until he found the body it belonged to. While a soldier was trying to get his attention he showed him the shoe and continued searching for the "Log" it belonged to. After being slapped out it he realized that there was no way for him to find the "Log" the foot belonged to. These are just some of the things that our armed forced face everytime there is a war.
