War is theater

War is theater. I don’t mean that in the sense of comedic timing or sets or lights or any of the technical shit. When I say war is theater I mean war is pain. War is trials and tribulation. War is waiting. I haven’t even been deployed yet but I can’t wait.

You know what to shoot and when to shoot it. You know how to perform you know how to kill. It’s a production you have been practicing for so long that even in your deepest unconsciousness you can lay there and still know exactly what needs to be done. After rehearsing for so long, nothing changes everything remains constant and consistent. That is what war is for me.
