CASUALTIES OF WAR

Posted by Mike Rigby

In case you missed this, it’s a great idea. A series of toy soldiers cast in confronting scenarios, often badly injured or even on the verge of suicide. The project is a rection to a 2009 Colorado Springs Gazzette report that highlighted the extent to which soldiers returning from duty in Iraq have been involved in brawls, beatings, rapes, drunk driving, drug deals, domestic violence, shootings, stabbings, kidnapping and suicides.

Staggeringly ”Returning soldiers were committing murder at a rate 20 times greater than other young American males” according to the article.

The piece brilliantly illustrates the extreme difficulty many soldiers have in readjusting to a civillian life.
