Florence Barnes hated the term Cold War.
It implies distance, and clean hands.
A war that meant Americans never quite broke Soviet skin.
Not a real war.
That lie never held up to her reality.
She was American, and she had fought Soviets.
Florence had left bodies in East Germany and spilled blood in Vietnam.
The war was real enough when it pressed a gun into her palm and told her to pull the trigger.
Real enough when choice was removed from the equation.
