Lt. Colonel Herbert Jones OBE, The Parachute Regiment
A soldiers view of War as written in a letter by an Argentinian soldier about his kiling in batlle of a British soldier.
"We were the victims of incomprehensible humanity, your life ended and I feel your absence profoundly. I know today that deep inside I did not intend to provoke your death. I know that your family weeps for you, that your mother, your father, your wife, your brother, your son, your girlfriend, all misses you. I suffer your disappearance because I was part of it. I honor your courage by always thinking of you. I do not allow myself to forget any of your last moments, your last cries of pain, moments that are present in me, as if they had just happened."
The Argentine veteran's letter was the most read article in the April 3, 2002 issue of Clarin, the Buenos Aires Daily.
