    sleeping in a sleeping bag

    More like trying to sleep in a puddle of cold, muddy water with a few dead bodies next to you in a trench that’s being shelled for days and drones constantly buzzing overhead.

    This after you were grabbed off the streets by a bunch of thugs with swastika tatoos, shoved in a van, given a rifle and three days’ “training” that consisted of you taking a few potshots at a target, were told you were going to be deployed to some safe backline location but really they just shipped you to the front, and when you get there you have no idea where you even are and your commanding officer is nowhere to be seen.

    War is hell.
