Summary

This quote suggests that what matters most to the speaker is not the reason or purpose behind being at war, but rather the act of being engaged in conflict itself. The quote highlights a possibly restless or combative nature, where the individual finds fulfillment and satisfaction simply through participating in a state of war. It might imply an inclination towards aggression or a desire for conflict, rather than a concern for the consequences or the goals being pursued. Additionally, it could hint at the individual's indifference towards the causes or justifications of the war, focusing solely on the experience of being involved in combat.
