How best to live in a time of permanent war is a question I often find myself dwelling on, have done since a wee sprout, no good answers, smart enough that I'm pretty sure their aren't any.

Personally, try to stay combat ready, keep a rough big picture in mind, but stick to local tactics, foot soldier in the field, command and control all shot to hell, just keep crashing through.

Some day this war's going to end. Funny stuff.

Off to walk the dog, then restock on local soda, get some for others, maybe pick up some Polish and/or Portuguese specialties.

Affectionately violent, violently affectionate, etc., etc. Your milage may vary.
