When I heard prime ministers speak through frequencies, I knew I had found it: my entire life leading up to a moment where I could prove my worth with a head count. In basic, I was taught how to kill and (more importantly) how to cope. They said, "Be desensitized in everything you do! Anyone beneath a different banner than you doesn't deserve a dog's death. They're less human than us. Don't mourn, don't grieve, and don't lose sleep when you fire off rounds into their chests." When we heard drill sergeants scream, we, the crowd, agreed. Cut off from society, worked until delirium until we believed. We were given a new war-friendly, state-sanctioned morality.
