Man’s brutality to one another is tragic enough. [WWII]

[**The following is related by Technician Fifth Grade Antonio C. Garcia, during the Second World War.**] >Garcia has another memory of that day: “One of the more disturbing incidents that affected me was seeing a horse standing in the snow helpless with one of its front legs shattered by a shell fragment. One of the noncoms mercifully put it out of its misery with a couple of bullets to the head. Though man’s brutality to one another is tragic enough, to see helpless animals suffer by his actions is even more tragic.” ________________________ **Source:** Ambrose, Stephen Edward. “Attack.” *Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest*.
