To escape a brutal and seemingly endless war with your life, but turn around and be ripped limb from limb. If you were lucky enough to not be the victim, you got to sit back and watch your comrade be eaten alive as they scream for help. That feeling of helplessness, when you know you can't help them and that you could be next has to take such a toll on a person. I believe that Odysseus' men are the unsung heroes. The only time you hear about them is after they die, these men have families that have also waited 20 years for them. What about their stories? I also really liked the parallel you drew from the Sultana disaster. They had to have had a feeling that something was going to go wrong with the broken boilers yet they decided to ignore it and hope for the best. Just as Odysseus knew that eventually all his men will die, but there was no way he could alter fate, and death was inevitable.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"42261488","dateCreated":"1315671861","smartDate":"Sep 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"sdragash","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/sdragash","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/bsuhonorshum.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/42261488"},"dateDigested":1532652745,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"soldiers coming back from war","description":"That would be just about the most awful thing I could imagine right now, but I was kind of thinking that after going through a terrible war, these men could have been just so callused. It might even be hard for them to feel anything at this point. It would be like hitting rock bottom and surrendering, thinking &quot;what could possibly be worse? I've seen it all and nothing even matters anymore.&quot; To even think of family would be a myth more painful than anything, because you would know that there is no chance at all of ever having that wonderful gift again. I obviously could never begin to comprehend what state I would be in in a situation like that.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"42263742","body":"I can not even imagine what that must feel like.
