emotions that cause it. And yet, the truest malice of war is not causing death, but living with the weight of experiencing it. In its wake war leaves millions of soldiers, civilians and prisoners of war haunted by memories of its horror. Look to the incineration of an innocent population in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, or the agonizing decision to ignore a suffering father in Night by Elie Wiesel. Watch the despair of watching a beloved compatriot slain from enemy…
