> what you'd see most of the time is actually soldiers doing nothing

True, but that part of the reality of war is hardly relevant. I don’t need to emphasize with the bored soldiers. That’s part of life for me too.

I emphathize with the bored soldiers that suddenly had a massive bomb land in their midst.

Isn’t it actually an issue that soldiers are so bored in completely remote places for months and months?

People engaging in the army to get some hot action sure would have liked to know more about that aspect, and for better or worse the general public’s perception would also be different when accurately imagining x thousands of trained people stuck in the desert doing nothing 99% of the time.

“War is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.”

Hah, yeah, that was kind of the quote I had in mind when writing my original comment.
