## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

War grinds some men into dedication while it lasts but spits others out as farce. One soldier, ground down by years of paperwork and lost battles, gets sent on a final mission that’s less torpedo and more target practice. The army’s last stand is a one-man submarine named despair.
