You`d like to participate in a real war, Hero? you like watching your friends and family die horrible deaths?
Believe me, I`ve been there on a small scale, not a pretty sight.

Gee Mad Hatter, you really got me interstead
You see, I where I live (BTW, where do you live in if I may ask?) in, the situation is bout the same as the one you described: My country is in a state of a small scale war (which is still a war), and I'm about to enter my military service next year, and probably will become an infantry fighter in enemy teretoray (a job I have no problam with, and I'm trying to get into the air force or to a special unit), so I'll guess I'll find out soon enough what you're talking about...
And as for that, well, what did you expect from a war? I know that if I'll go into fights some of my friends won't come back and maybe even I won't survive (and as stupid as what I'm about to say sounds, I have no problam with my death - I don't WANT to die, but if that'll happen, I rather it'll happen when I'll be out there fighting for my country). It's war - people die. All I can do is try to do my best and keep my friends' @$$ and mine safe.
This is how I see it - this point of view might change when I'll experiance the real thing, but I doubt it.
