Gearheads of War

The reason that I think we love this stuff is the thrill (or need for) of Adventure.

Papi says "stress relief".

More accurately could be "relief from mundane life".

Not that we don't love our lives, but to Become a Hero.  A MasterChief or a Marcus!

If even only for an hour or two.

The Novel is written and We are IN the Story.

That Headshot just saved a teammate.  

This is Coded into our DNA

Ask Lewis and Clark.  Ask Daniel Boone.  Ask Teddy Roosevelt (rough riders of San Juan Hill).

Life has been homogenized by many of the conveniences of life.  No Bears to kill (or Esuns quoted me.. Bulls to Wrestle).

So we find other ways.  Video games are one of them...  Some may call us weird or childlike (I get that..  How old are you and still playing video games??).

But we are being True to what is Already in us.  The need to be Men.
