I am the Unknown Soldier --> Whether you believe me or not is beside the point. I accepted the Role and have been trying to fulfil my Duty for 15 years; Until recently, I've been unsuccessful. However, I'm a sometimes fast Learner And this Time round - this Hyper-Real Time round - I'm pretty sure I've executed my Duty Professionally, As befits an ANZAC. I've tried several Battles and lost, But this recent War (longer than I was led to Believe) Seems, to me, to be the coup-de-grace, So intricately woven and administered with utmost confidence; I've adapted and learnt, absorbed info and fired it off; Developed my strategies within the conceptual system And deployed my tactics efficiently, And, I believe, Lethally, According to the Laws as they stand. I've been wounded before and was reluctant to follow suit, But, when the time was right --> and I was certain --> I tried to conduct my War with Cold Intelligence and Logical Precision, Without the Emotive influences that clouded my Judgements previously. In my Defence, this War was much bigger than I anticipated --> It's all fine to Declare one's self World War III, But I didn't realise it would involve other Universes - That was unanticipated and challenging. Luckily for me, my sixth sense - My sense of Humour - was well Disciplined and accommodating, Rising to the occasion. Moreover, the Lore I employed was well-honed --> Sharp and relatively easy to engage and implement. I tried to keep casualties to a minimum - Namely myself, and any Fool stupid enough to Conceptualise Themselves. It helped that I conceived the War In concepts revolving around what my missus would want of me - Under the false presumption that I actually had a missus at the time. Fortunately, I've a good imagination for the Everyman. I just calculated and Conducted the Campaign according to simple Laws of "Who's washing the dishes?" and "Who's looking after the kids?" [Of all the species in the Multi-verse, go figure Humans (that is: **** sapiens sapiens) were the one's to invent and refine the Art of Warfare (A Gentleman's Game of Lethal = Serious ^2). Killing just comes naturally to us! And we often get a perverse sense of pleasure at watching things die. Go figure.]

Unknown Soldier (What it means to me)
I am the Unknown Soldier --> Whether you believe me or not is beside the point. I accepted the Role and have been trying to fulfil my Duty for 15 years; Until recently, I've been unsuccessful.
