The Sheepdogs by Russ Vaughn (a video)
Posted By Uncle Jimbo
I assume most of you have read the poem "The Sheepdogs" by Russ Vaughn. Russ wrote it in response to this, an essay (an extract from the book, 'On Combat') was written by Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, U.S. Army (Ret.) Director, Killology Research Group (www.killology.com). Colonel Grossman is a somewhat controversial figure - he authored the book - "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society" - a very interesting topic that our politically correct society would rarely discuss. (Thanks to Tom and Mark for sending the article).
I put together a video w/music and some images I thought fit the poem.
