I thought that if you made it back from a conflict zone that somehow you could kind of wipe the sweat off your brow and say, "Whew, I'm glad I dodged that one," without understanding that for so many people, as they come back home, the war keeps going.
Pensaba que si lograbas volver de una zona de conflicto de algún modo podías limpiarte el sudor de la frente y decir: "Me alegra haber esquivado esa bala", sin entender que para muchos soldados cuando vuelven a casa la guerra continúa.
