Moore reflects on the nature of war and what we do to ourselves through it's execution. He states "Long after the war was over, one president, Ronald Reagan, called it a "noble" effort. He was wrong. There's never been a noble war except in the history books and propaganda movies. It's a bloody, dirty, cruel, costly mistake in almost every case, as it was in this war that would end so badly. But the young soldiers can be and often are noble, selfless and honorable. They don't fight for a flag or a president or mom and apple pie. When it comes down to it they fight and die for each other".

The journey back makes new friends out of old enemies, and allows the ghosts of 30 years past to be put to rest. As LTG Moore says, Its not closure, there will never be that, it's putting those souls to rest. Great book. ]]>
