The trauma of war, and killing

Last night I watched on PBS animated short films of Storycorps recordings.  Even before the following one ended, I felt the tear drop fall.

Joseph Robertson was an infantryman in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. The stark black and white images in this short haunt the viewer, just as Robertson is haunted by his memories from that battle.
