when I turn 'round you're there, should I ask for more?

Yay, more ficcage for ds_aprilfools. :)

I'm only a day behind, which for me is a kind of miracle. This one's just a snippet, and I didn't write and post the same day, but it counts, since the rules seem flexible over there.

war is harmful to children and other living things

I usually don't like news stories that are broadcast just for sentiment factor. This one is an exception, because it shows what kids of soldiers are going through.

This story is obviously meant to show a happy homecoming, and it does, but it also shows the trauma the kids have had. I mean, just look at the expression on that little kid's face. Kids that little don't usually cry when they're happy, they cry when they're in pain. I can't even imagine what level of pain these little ones are in, and that's just the kids of the soldiers who come home outside of a box.

*screams at Dubya* See that, you cretin? THIS is what you're doing to American kids (and Iraqi kids, but that's a whole new level of tragedy). Honestly, how do you sleep?
