So, I grew up with Special Forces men who served in Vietnam, as well as having three family members on that stupid wall. Two of my best friends served in Middle East deployments. I’m a sharpshooter, and spent a lot of time on the range with people who used to be snipers. I preface with this because I am not unfamiliar with the sounds or the aftermath of war.
STOP LAUNCHING FIREWORKS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS! Just fucking stop. Every animal within a mile of you will be traumatized. Spot fires break out in the crop fields. Service personnel will suffer for days or weeks afterward. Just fucking stop. Please.
