Dream
I had a dream I was Brad Pitt in a movie about a journalist who gets embedded with a group of four Artillery crew members in the Army.
"How hard could it be?" he says in typical first act Hollywood movie fashion
He finds out they are pretty serious about their work, fanatical even. He meets them at a dirt bunker. The artillery blasting away as they train in the heat. He /I see them pack up and head in, singing in unison as they go , about artillery being the king of battle. I see a soldier exit the bunker, and he is quite the character, shirtless and muscular, slick with sweat, he tightens the black straps on his ruck/backpack and I look down and see he's not actually wearing pants, he has on boots and Army green chaps! Lol
You sure you're ready for this? His boss asks,
"I've been ready. I was ready for this two years ago."
Brad Pitts character ends up bonding with them and going into battle with them, forever changed by the experience.
