I listened intently to the words of the old soldier as he told his story. As he spoke, his face was as void of emotion as his voice. He had the vacant, hollow eyes of a man who had seen things no one should see, telling stories of things no one should hear. "I never thought I would see this degree of man's inhumanity to man," he said. "It was just everyone for himself, with no regard to life, limb, or human decency. Whatever else may come to me in my life, this I can assure you: I will never go back to Walmart on Black Friday again."
