The above is taken from atiff's rpol game.
Reading it I found it rather depressing if entirely true. A very sad state of affairs and something every last person is likely to have witnessed countless times since the outbreak of the war, particularly since the nukes dropped.
I think we all tend to forget that it's the children who suffer the most, the children who end up doing the majority of the dying in a total war.
