"New Amsterdam State of Mind"

"I’ve been thinking about writing, but it seems like nothing has really been going on. Then I started to think about it and things actually have been happening over the past week or so. We have been hearing/seeing a few mortars again. There is a greeting card in the PX that depicts two soldiers who have been here for a while talking to one another on the front and standing around. In the background are mortars flying and exploding. In the foreground are two other soldiers curled up in a ball next to some sandbags and wincing. The one standing soldier says to the other, “You can always tell who the new guys are.”"
