I wonder sometimes if the military s an experiment. Now. To see how you can twist and muck around with soldiers while they're out there chasing the stated, more obvious goal. A game within a game, so to speak.

Sorry, don't mean to upset you or dismiss in some way your experience (or the stark value that seems to be found in service). So don't take it like that. I find it hard to read your war stuff, tbh. Even if you write it well. Just doesn't seem like something that should be part of anyone's experience, since everyone seems to come away so fucked up from it. I do hope writing helps and that you continue to do it, though. :)
