All wars are different.
All wars are the same.
A story. A man fires a rifle for many years and he goes to war. And afterward he comes home and he sees that whatever else he might do with his life… build a house, love a woman, change his son’s diaper, he will always remain a Jarhead. And all the Jarheads killing and dying, they will always be me. We are still in the desert.

Jarhead, Swofford.
