I concur. And I can personally vouch for the caliber of pain an abdominal wound delivers. It is not for the faint of heart, let me assure you. Even the simple act of breathing is a labor...and coughing or sneezing is an agony I can't even begin to describe.
I wouldn't let one of my pets suffer the sort of torture that young man was experiencing...but Sgt. Horne is a bad guy for ending his suffering.
If this crap keeps up, we are going to lose this war in less than a decade.
Sounds terrible, too bad there wasn't someone there to shoot you.
