The War Zone- San Fernando.

Image is not related.

Francisco Garcia had left a party at his girlfriend's house and was on a sidewalk in the San Fernando Valley around 2 a.m. when two cars pulled up. A man got out of one vehicle, smashed a beer bottle on the ground and yelled at Garcia before going back to the second car to grab a gun, police said. Garcia died at the scene. No one else was injured.
Garcia is a 21-year-old Army veteran  who return from, the war zone in Afghanistan, only few months earlier. 

Brian Enriquez, 21, told the Los Angeles Times that he, Garcia and a group of friends left Garcia's girlfriend's house when she decided to go to sleep. They headed to another gathering when the cars pulled up.

The ironies are obvious. To survive as a soldier in an overseas conflict, only to be killed in your neighborhood upon your return.

How ironic?  Just a thought.
