Walking Wounded
Walking Wounded: Uncut Stories from Iraq | Olivier Morel
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A gripping graphic novel illustrates the challenges of Iraq War veterans as well as their inspiring triumphs After the shock of 9/11, for hundreds of thousands of young Americans there was Ar Ramadi, Baghdad, Abu Ghraibthe war in Iraq. Then came the trauma. From the torment of these vets to their reflections, Morel and artist Mal demonstrate the seemingly impossible return of those who aspire to get back to a normal life. The effort is huge; some can't make it and others score their own victory by finally turning the corner. Walking Wounded is a parable for our country's war sickness.

The plan today was to grab lunch, see mom, pick up Joshs meds, then take the pups to the south flat park. It is where they hold yoga in the park and have lots walking paths.

Well it started pouring. It‘s been raining for elks. Everything is flooded or semi flooded. So no walk. I‘ll dance clean my kitchen later and do a few flights of stairs.

Demon and Flin gave me the Ahh hell no looks when I suggested walking in the rain.

mabell That‘s definitely the look! I got the same one. 6y

Not strictly book related but this is how I know my boss is sick. Usually by this point in the week, she‘s so far ahead of the rest of us, it‘s not even a competition. Maybe I stand a chance this time.

DarcysMom Nobody likes to do those with me. I get hyper competitive and obnoxious. 😛 7y
CocoReads @DarcysMom and as for me, I‘m not competitive at all so I tend to join them and never look at the totals again. I learned long ago that my boss is uber competitive and it kinda just bums me out to be smoked like that. I get depressed and not motivated. 7y
CocoReads But I got a new Fitbit for Christmas since my old one died and so I‘m trying to gear up to get in better shape. So I‘m trying again. 7y
BethM This is why I try to do challenges with non work out people lol. 7y
CocoReads @BethM yes, most of us aren‘t very competitive. I sometimes don‘t even join. 7y

It's been awhile since I got my steps in and Boy do I feel it! Also ignore the sleep thing--it's messed up. On my best day I clock about 7 very restless hours but I usually only average 5-6. #needtomovemoreandeatless

ReadingSusan My sleep is never right either. 8y
CocoReads @ReadingSusan mine is usually spot on but my sister told me hers was messed up like that recently and it eventually fixed itself. I find my sleep patterns endlessly fascinating although having this feature just confirms that I'm a super restless sleeper. 8y
ReadingSusan @CocoReads mine doesn't seem to pick up when I get up on the middle of the night. 8y
Bookworm83 11 hours and 23 minutes of sleep sounds glorious 🙌🏻🙌🏻 8y
CocoReads It does but since it didn't actually happen I feel that it's cruelly taunting me. 😂😂 8y

Graphic nonfic specifically about the effects of war on soldiers. I have a couple of brothers who are mentally and emotionally scarred by their service. I found this book valuable in helping me to understand their suffering and that pain many of our service people live with.
