> Watch that and tell me if you think it's still cool and normal life is boring. I didn't get the feeling that OP was saying it's cool. Rather, that it's intense, and that the intensity itself is addicting. I was on jury duty for a murder case last year, and it was like living in a different reality. The weight of the responsibility bore down on me hard, it felt like the stakes of what I was doing were higher than anything else in my life. It took me a while afterwards to fully come back down to earth. OP is basically saying that war feels somewhat like that - you come back home and the stakes feel trivial.
