In truth it's better not to get back into what was originally a good memory, offering challenge and intrigue and risk. Chasing a memory....
From a mental standpoint you probably aren't as quick instinctively, and potentially have a more jaded viewpoint on the reasons why war happens and generally have a more advanced concept of consequence than you did in your youth.
As a result of that awareness of consequences through actions you might have pause for thought during a critical mission and that could be disastrous. Is that something you recognize now? If it's even entered your mind as a possibility you shouldn't head back to war.
I don't mean to come across as overly critical because I have a lot of respect for you through reading many of your posts over the last year or so.
This is a bare bones assessment of your state of mind. As a young grunt second thoughts weren't going to get in the way. These days you have seen enough "reality" to double check your data, which could be a life or death decision.
My 2 cents.
call me out if i'm spouting BS, won't be offended.
