The horrors people face while off at war are never forgotten, whether they have scars, bad memories, or constant reminders every day. Many soldiers face criticism once they come home for whatever happened when they were deployed. If held captive or even just on the front line, most carry scars everywhere they go; some are physical and some are mental. The articles “The Private Jessica Lynch” by Nancy Gibbs, “Confessions of a Sniper” by Rania Abouzeid, and the book “American Sniper” by Chris Kyle are all fantastic works of literature.

When you take a quick glance at it, it might not seem like they have things in common when in reality they do.
