Part 2/11:
For veterans, daily life can often trigger memories of trauma, with seemingly innocuous stimuli igniting flashbacks and emotional turmoil. A loud noise, a swift movement, or even the sound of gunfire can send a soldier spiraling back to moments of fear and violence. The narrator grapples with the irony that while they were trained to kill, navigating civilian society demands that they suppress those instincts and cope with the haunting memories of lives lost on the battlefield.
