Regardless of what people may think of the politics behind the wars that nations fight, something that no one can question is the bravery that the soldiers on the front lines exhibit. These men and women put their lives on the line time and time again, fighting for a cause that they believe in. However, life is not a video game – the journey that these soldiers is a long and gruelling one. Pictures are said to speak a thousand words, so take a look at the essay to see the journey that Ian Fisher took through a deeper perspective. (Courtesy of Denver Post)
