PTSD 3

It was my first deployment over seas
I was in an open field
When I spotted one of the enemy
I shot him before he could shoot me
Then from behind
I was shot in the leg

I was taken to a field hospital
And later sent back to the states
While lying in my hospital bed
I kept replaying it in my mind
Me shooting someone
Me a murder
Sure he would have killed someone else
Sure he would have destroyed more lives
But still, I just could not get over what I had down
I did what I had to do
War is kill or be killed
However
I am not a killer
That is not me

After I was releashed from the hospital
I left the military
I vowed never to touch a gun
Or
Any other weapon
For as long as I lived
