Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A tragic war.

The Deer Hunter

by Shirley Ann Bunyan

Just ‘steel belt’ boys who loved to hunt and live their lives.

“Kill for your country. Leave your girlfriends and wives.
Leave your sisters and mothers. They’ll pray you survive."

Mere fate will spin the roulette wheel. Dead or alive.
Returned, no more just 'steel belt' boys, but stolen, broken men.
