Description
“What was it like to be shot at?” “How did you feel killing someone?” “How many people did you kill?” “What about the 6th Commandment, ‘Thou shall not kill’?” These are among the questions combat veterans hate to hear and hate to answer. Tony Funtanilla draws from his experience in unflinching detail. He hopes that by answering without reservation, greater appreciation and understanding can be gained about the difficulties warriors face in life after combat.
CPR from Combat provides insight into the deep emotional numbness soldiers adapt to in order to continue functioning, fighting, and surviving while trying to hold onto some sense of sanity amid the horrifying events of war. After decades of not fully loving, trusting, caring, or sharing deeply, Tony questioned if such things could ever become his reality. Would he ever find true peace, emotional and mental healing, and break off the haunting echoes of the past?
He has since discovered his resounding “Yes.”
