I'm posting now, no worries.
'Damascus. Shit. I'm still only in Damascus. Every time I think I'm going to wake up back in the sandbox. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. When I was here, I wanted to be there and when I was there all I could think of was getting back into the sandpit. I've been here a week now. Waiting for a mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker and ever minute Muj [Mooj] squats in the desert he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls move in a little tighter.'
