The colour of your skin or where you come from should never affect how people look at you. The world changed after September 2001, when the twin towers were downed by two highjacked aircraft crashing into them and into the Pentagon.

His brothers in arms do not look at him because he is Asian but just as another soldier doing his job and being there as a unit. The valour shown by these young soldiers can only be admired; most of them, if they return, will never be the same mentally and physically. Many will suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, proud men with deep scars of the theatre of war.
