In hindsight, I agree with you, eb. This is very close in tone to Null. Though it was intended to be a sort of rambling, meandering war story as told by an old veteran...based in part on the tone of ... |

Okay. First off, I enjoyed this, because it's hard to make trench warfare interesting and write milspec buddy-talk well...and I think you managed to pull both off, for the most part. On the other ha ... |

There's no excuse for this, really...unless you're copying something you saw on Nickelodeon or bad Saturday morning anime. Or C-movies. And if you're copying that, you need to reexamine your persona ... |

Excellent summation, eb. In fact, I'm a little shocked you managed to fit all that into one relatively short post. You've masterfully Picked a whole month in half as many words as it takes the rest ... |

Yeah. I also chose not to insert the bit about the saliva on your tongue boiling almost instantly. There's a huge misconception about one's blood boiling in vacuum, and an old 80's movie fetish with ... |
