Notes
it happens like this:
they tell you war is something noble, that to fight for your country is to earn a type of glory known by no others. it is romanticized and glorified and you believe them. why wouldn't you?
they drop you on a battlefield with a helmet and a gun and suddenly troy is burning, jerusalem is burning, paris is burning, normandy is burning, you are burning.
and then they send you home.
welcome home, soldier.
