An honest conversation with a war veteran. A few drinks will do that sometimes. The man speaks as if he were bartering for placement of his soul. What an interesting concept, if colorful in language and almost cartoon-like in its conception. "Who says everyone gets into heaven? What if they just issue you a ruck sack or some angel wings and tell you to patrol outside the walls?" On and on, with funny references of key figures, weapons and equipment, and chow hall runs inside the gate. While others sleep in peace and enjoy paradise, the soldier is out on mission to defend it. It may not be fluffy pillows and cool breezes, but it sure beats going to hell. #wordsmith #introspection #lifebydesign #spartanserved #focus #getsome #standbytogetsome https://www.instagram.com/p/B4CbTF7HfFY/?igshid=11cttpgriomp4
