Kek "soldier" what the fuck battles has he been in. Only battle he faces is the battle for the canteen queue during his breaks from launching drone missiles at blips on a computer screen.
People worship veterans feet, most of them barring actual infantry never do jackshit in a warzone. They sit at a main operating base in an airconditioned tent drinking chilled cokes out of the freezer, whilst the actual infantry are out in some goat shit covered sandy field getting their limbs blown off by IED's.
