War is never moral
If a story seems moral do not believe it
There is no rectitude
No restrain, or uplifting feeling

Its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil
Let’s you tell a true war story
You can tell a true war story if it embarrasses you
If you don’t care for obscenity then you don’t care for the truth

It’s difficult to separate what happened from
What seemed to happen, especially in a true one
The angles of vision are skewed
When a guy dies
You look away for a moment and then look back
You miss a lot

Which makes the story seem un-true
You can tell a true war story by the way it never seems to end
Not then, not ever

“The rock, it’s talking. And the fog to...”
Yeah but listen It’s still true
True war stories do not generalize
They do not indulge in abstraction or analysis
“War is hell”
I can’t believe it with my stomach because nothing turns inside,

Because it is a moral declaration

And in the end of course, a true war story is never about war,

It’s about sunlight.
