nice one Gazbert.
On a serious note, reading that made me realise that for everyday 'citizens', war becomes normalised. The media stop showing the sandpit on the news, they stop telling us about the deaths of yet more servicemen, and for these cocooned people whose daily routine is work and walmarts, they just forget what is actually being done on there behalf. Excellent responses from the two Colonels. I imagine the guy still cringes to this day.
