Peace, thanks for a loan of your canteen

It's strange, I signed a form saying i'd give it up for my country, and when they give a war , it's rude not to go, at which point you must consider the idea of not coming home... to survive you must assume that you're already 'dead'... anything else is a bonus.

If by some happy accident you survive, 'home' is never the same again, nor is your wish to 'serve' some mindless political machine that knows you only as an expendable asset.

I can't explain this mindset to my ex-partner, and then I think of those 'brothers in arms' who came back even less complete than I did.

I like Foolestroupes outlook....
