"In the case of El Salvador, we see but a microcosm of a global reality in which our government trains and trades in arms, recklessly disregarding consideration for the repercussions. Seeing Salvadoran troops with US military apparel and equipment stands as a grave testament to our own misguided assumptions about the ultimate futility of force. I only know this because I trained, fought, and even dressed as they did.
In Return to El Salvador, we are reminded of the incredible breadth of the human character; from unimaginable acts of violence and insatiable greed to awe-inspiring acts of hope, faith and love. May these incredible stories be a constant reminder of all that we are capable of, for better and for worse. In them, may we remember our own moral character and never overlook the responsibility to which we are both individually and collectively called."
