[ WP ] A young student is drafted off to fight in a bloody foreign war . He quickly finds that war is the most enjoyable thing he has ever experienced .

Bullets whizzed overhead. Jason could hear his squad mates yelling at him to get down, and as he dropped a hole appeared in the wall, right where his head had been. 
 
 `` Jason? Jason!'' 
 
 Jason broke out of his daydream. His mother and father looked concerned at their son spacing out. The moment he had arrived home, his mother had given him a giant hug as she cried with relief. His dad slapped his back and before Jason knew it, it was dinnertime. 
 
 `` What?'' Jason tried to keep the irritation out of his voice. 
 
 `` We just want to make sure that you're alright. We know what war can do to a young man, and we're here if you have any trouble.'' Jason's mother was trying to keep it together, even now. Jason flexed his jaw and shook his head. 
 
 `` I'm alright mom. Really.'' 
 
 `` We're just concerned,'' said Jason's dad. `` We figured you would write, and since you did n't... well, we just do n't know what to think.'' Jason's parents glanced at each other. Neither seemed willing to come out and say it. 
 
 `` I do n't have PTSD. I'm fine. And I think I'm going to bed.'' Jason threw his napkin on his plate and brought it over to the sink. As he left the room, he could almost hear his parents say that they were there for him. 
 
 Once he got in his room he closed the door and leaned against it. He put his head in his hands. How could he tell them? He started to go through his explanation again. 
 
 `` Mom, dad... I loved it. I kept my squad safe and they did the same. I worked for something for the first time in my life. I had a reason to get up in the morning. I did n't feel dead inside for once.'' As he whispered he found himself recalling memories from his deployment. From the first day of Boot Camp to the time he got on the plane to come home, it had been a nonstop adventure. He realized that he wanted to go back. 
 
 `` Mom, dad... I'm heading out. I'll try to write this time.'' 
 
 Jason decided that was all he needed to say.
