The Next Decade
David Pope
Ten years into a conflict that had already cost so many military and civilian lives, David Pope correctly foreshadows another deadly legacy that is being created. This sombre portrait from 2012 is a sadly accurate prediction of the lasting trauma that would continue to come home to so many who served there.
