In war, every infantryman has been there. He is wet, he is hungry and cold, and he is a long, long way from home.

Shoot first

I almost didn't read it. Two minutes, law I hate short stories, how good can a
long sentence be? 😄 What I heard in that two minutes, was every war that was or will be -- just in a different setting, of course. And I heard our country, and our world -- "...shoot first. without asking questions. " (I'm paraphrasing. I have a bad memory )

The narrator gave a great performance as a career soldier. bone weary tired, and sick to death of war. There is just something in his deep, almost booming voice. that added to the story, and held, my attention. I want to hear more that he has narrated

As for the, uh. story? itself, I found a lot packed into that tiny story . I'm glad I listened to it. 😄
