“The Sandstorm” is a play that will bring a tear to your eye. It is a play regarding the war and the men that were there to witness the indescribable and terrifying events that happened to the innocence man, women and children. Also it is about the things that go through some of the minds of the men and how they cope with the situation. They describe a few different scenarios of what they saw and what they were doing in the particular area they were in. They were on a mission and they were there to finish what they had started whether they wanted to or not.
Many of the men fighting during war had left wives and children behind to go fight for the freedom of The United States of America. They had no idea of what they were heading into. There is no way a person could prepare for what was to come during war. We who are at home safe and sound cannot comprehend what goes on in the war territories.
When the men are in “fight to survive” mode, they are a totally different person. They do things that they normally wouldn’t do if they never went to war. Here is an example of just one of their mind sets, “I took pictures of the dead hajjis. Hell if I could shoot ‘em with my M-16 I guess I could shoot ‘em with a camera too, you know” (Huze 3). This would not be normal behavior if LCPL DODD wasn’t at war. It was an interesting read. To watch the play would be very interesting.
Here is an interesting read on war heroes:
