The beer and liquor flow freely as water. A drinking song breaks out at a table in one corner of the room and is soon taken up by all the patrons of the bar. Friendship and camaraderie abound here. And this moment in time is all we have, for we are at war. There are no guarantees on tomorrow.
Tomorrow is an eternity away.
Home and family and loved ones are an eternity away. And for now, the business of war is forgotten. All is happiness. All is brotherhood and friendship and celebration. Then, a low rumbling intrudes upon our revelry.
