In the book Armor by John Steakley
Pretty unrelated, but if this resonated with you and you haven't already, read The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley. It came out in the last few years and kind of uses Armor as a starting point for things to get much, much trippyer.

The Forever War is post war, dealing with alienation and how was changes you.
The Forever War legit blew my drat mind. It's one of those books that you want to somehow erase from your mind so that you can read it again.

 I've read a bunch of the critically acclaimed books on the forever war (I'm a filthy civvy that didn't participate), and I don't think any one of them has painted as much of a picture of the Iraqi civilians as just some people trying to get through the day like everyone else. I loved reading these.

If it's ok with the thread, I'd like to write a response to this sentiment. Not in a negative way or anything- it's just in a similar vein to what some friends have said to me.
It's your thread and we're just your rapt audience. Respond away!

I didn't go for the easy analogy of '2001', but just an ape with a rock.

I'm not sure I've felt such unbridled glee since.
This is somehow incredibly wholesome.

I've reached a point that I had to list the episodes I've shared. I know I will repeat myself enough already- I had to check before I started on a new episode.

Two pieces coming tomorrow.


Thanks as always.

 Also, maybe check in with Joe Kassabian from Lions Led By Donkeys. He published a book of his experiences and yours and his are very simpatico, though yours are better written. He's very active on Twitter.

We are here to read the stories as you feel like sharing them. We are not here expecting a Monday and Friday scheduled update like you were just making them in the factory.

You do you and we'll still be here to appreciate you.
