I enjoyed it. I was attracted to the idea of actually taking part in history (instead of being a passive observer).
I went to airborne school and then ended up doing convoy security in Syria (I drove MRAPS). I remember the first time we got attacked I was so excited, & for a few months they bombed our compound daily. I remember the first time I shot an ISIS fighter and him struggling with the medic trying to save him. I remember how heavy a severed human head felt.
This might sound weird but there is a clarity that arises, its like youre aware of everything, it's beautiful. I remember staring at tracers in awe like a child.
But I won't go back in because I also hate the tedious pointless monotony that makes up 99% of military. But if I could recreate that feeling I would.
