Cooling-off
(It's the period of time of calming down and recovering after a war.)
You were hungry, sick, wounded, shot, and lost a friend. Fortunately, you have come back.
Now all the pleasures of the world are at your service. Everything you see around you is for you. You can sit on the couch and smoke tobacco, watch men and women dancing.
Take a woman or a man if you want. Or join in other intimate activities.
Get drunk, forget the war you came from, so that you can be ready for the next one.
