997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHjZM1zoqb
I looked at the rest of my squad, looking not exactly happy,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCCk3agh0d
but excited. Months of gruelling training led us here and I felt prepared.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b9qIS0V6I
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5sBQ5GLM
“Allright! Listen UP!” The sergeant yelled and broke my997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJTzuKh0E5
reverie as I automatically snap into attention. My spine straightened and my997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgFy4acy9p
arm went to my head for a salute. Without even looking around I was sure the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzox27jwo1
other hundred ensigns were doing the same.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHv9R6PvG8
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9LFyGbf92
“6 months of training led you here. Now you’re not the best997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcIhVxC7bT
soldier, nor are you the smartest lot. But you’ve learned enough to survive and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOn6eVkx5
in the future well who knows!”997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Xgj3HVw3
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8KZ0ayBU
Silence. The sergeant looking at each and every one of us. “I’ve997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYidH7X3OIi
trained you well enough to do your duty, which IS?!”997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwABd6bsO
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuqkBl0iQz
“To serve and protect!” A hundreds voices rang in unison as997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0PCG96q7
chorus.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJRHyARRR
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy3MKcrner
That’s right to protect others. That’s why I joined the army997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vAWAeH61
and now I’ve had a chance to do just that. A terrorist organization rose within997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkp0g9egch
an allied country, calling themselves a people’s rebellion, and were attacking997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLrEjA8U9d
innocents. The government asked for our assistance and we happily obliged997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAC0M9J2yA
sending troops for the past year or so.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKX1Rhg0nv
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd50wRp2fq
And now it’s my turn. It’s my turn to protect and serve. To997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl1xZFnKcP
help the people. To protect those who cannot protect themselves.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6PwkXfSh
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxGAr7plKh
After the speech was done we were all ordered to board the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHfo4arOy7
ships to our location. I found a seat next to Peter, one of my best friends997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BnZzMBIY9
from training, and got comfortable.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe7sCyJRqb
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1RRcf4Is
“You ready, Willson?” Peter asked me. He was still wearing997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQKI1Pyotb
braces, he was barely past 18. Though I guess I’m not much better.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrSZ22dQcJ
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OxvyPH3YR
“You know damn well I am. Let’s bring some justice” I held997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCgIvXPMYb
out my arm and he obligingly bumped it. Then we settled into a comfortable997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJxGJCPSY
silence.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBhafZie9p

Day 1 1500997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13gMfyaVgh
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1oqv22TSx
Arriving at our destination proved to be uneventful. We were997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVkFLZnR7z
disembarked and assigned our squads and bunks. I was made a part of squad Trio.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdWAQ0k9cq
A squad consisting of two veterans, Josh and Erik, and two rookies, me and Mel.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc0tSjzugG
Josh, our sergeant, seemed to be a997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQIWzx8DWc
hardass. While Erik during our short meeting always smiled. Without saying a997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAYWOHON1b
word, with an unsettling look in his eyes. Mel was someone I didn’t know that997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLrayAmReE
well. She kept herself to herself and didn’t talk much. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1lK2dt37B
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinWUcRlIOG
Our first meeting done we were allowed to go rest up and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZubGckeDOb
spend our time however we felt like. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDZraYdJj3
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ySl1DqZL
Following that order I found Peter with a group of our997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AszrEZRks
training buddies and spent most of the day playing cards or swapping rumors.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRuEeib4PV
One of them even stole a bottle of some alcohol that we all shared. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgZDy9IoyU
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vIqcc3GTw
All in all I’d say it was a good beginning to what would definitely997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPXDce1J3u
be a great tour.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzR4wZkhxV

Day 7997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORsp76uvzc
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipG5KealRY
Well the past few days have been pretty fricking boring.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV7tIhAvX0
Patrols, patrols. Guard duty, patrols patrol. Rinse and repeat. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIt9Ka5Naj
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ifeUXc7v
And oh god, the patrols. Nothing but broken buildings and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32IZ4FZqDZ
dust. And people, broken people. People who lost much. But people who we would997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuoPgYSEc
fight for.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTQfOStlb
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj4KAyJsL1
Though, the way some of them looked at us…. Anywhere997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMd4FPhRIw
I went most of the people seemed happy to see me and my squad. Though I didn’t997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7pLagzwZV
get to know them all that much better. Well maybe except Mel, being the two997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCcatqNajJ
rookies we usually ended up with the shittiest duties. She seemed pretty cool,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ftyBdUg4
we didn’t talk much but seemed to have a pretty solid professional relationship.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R0MiJTK3q
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgiYfRAqt2
But I dunno man, my pa always seemed so keen on serving and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6WFD9HmwD
he always made it sound so amazing, so exciting. But this is..just boring.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZ9xRMBft
Hoping I’ll see some action soon. Haven’t spoken to Peter in a while apparently997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOB04TVn6
he went further down to a different base. Hopefully he’s alright. Eh probably997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yXgV1vxm
is just bored like me.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQUcMuhym

997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsAWEb9hLi
Fuck, fuck, FUKC997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAHYZ1ghcW
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrGoa7OonL
Right, I dunno if I should write this down. Or if I’ll need997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFRpEg1xHe
to make an official report, but I just can’t keep it to myself.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC5NRRVZJJ
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLCzDCYws9
It happened at 1500. A joint operation between squads in997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLoD3btqAB
raiding a town. Everything was going fine at first. Squad Trio cleared their997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHLlV5ZRY
second house by the time the first shots rang.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBhElcOb7i
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAqRGaYvB2
I’m still not sure what happened exactly. At first it was997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkgtZBzgIP
just a few gunshots, something you could hear at your closest range. But then997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkmEeSY93t
screams came, and wales of pain. The radios went crazy, saying we were under997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDZeRClQi
attack and for everyone to mount a counterattack.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLasY0w52
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj74GQWkMd
Josh, to his credit, ordered us to cover as soon as possible,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmit4OY2OJA
luckily it wasn’t a moment too early as shots rang and I could see some bullets997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs06NF4IDOE
lodging at where I was standing previously.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozsnntfvB
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb3Vldfbp6
I blindly returned fire, I’m not sure if I killed someone or997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5mSax1KRu
not then, but it was the first time anyone tried to actively kill me…I think I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcdOPdXsuC
was in shock. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3LrLNTUDc
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLycVTGEsVO
Luckily the sergeant slapped me over the face and I snapped997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KshvI5JNX
out of it. He said something to me…I’m not sure what and then we moved on to997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGE0s6AEy
our next position.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFZHc9oiZh
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOaDpS3LB
That’s when I’ve seen him. A person right outside the window997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfcOFEIY9T
aiming at Mel. Without even thinking I aimed at pulled the trigger. One shot,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm3YIcwbfW
hit to the head and the man fell. It was the first time I killed someone. I…was997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7dOyDJ6xfIt felt good protecting my teammate.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENZLdLyqFt
scared.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEAkIn17L9
I’m not sure how long it took us to clear out the town, but997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7xeFVxCi6
eventually we prevailed. We were victorious. I think about two of our soldiers997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7l9MchJxP
died and five were injured. I’m glad997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFJu4JlqO I’m glad most of us997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEZ8IcLOT5
it wasn’t me,
managed to survive. And to the ones that died, they’ve died for a good cause. I’ll997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbKYWdSqsZ
remember their sacrifice.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2hdEF5EAU
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSlO5n1AF3
Right…the thing. I…997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7KeNJeQr
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvtSSdLh6e
It’s time to actually write about what I wanted to since997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdIKJOqxqw997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4QwRFFDF
I wrote this entry.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Jl8EMswJ
The actions described next happened after the attack. Most997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2nNuh5vf
of the soldiers, after securing the perimeter were left to do their own thing. Apparently997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Tkf7ugS1
for the veterans that meant raiding the supplies of the villagers. I’m sure the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhV7l1FikF
people didn’t mind, we ended up protecting them. Right?997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlDDtV2Cw
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjK0WANlyl
Most of the rookies, including me, didn’t steal take997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrdCCySg5
anything from the natives. We just kinda hanged around. Nursing our wounds,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wbHKZGf7
dealing with what happened in our own ways.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQQQCcoRL6
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AlPduJdLD
For me it was walking. Whenever I was troubled I took walks.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS6SFVfjbc
As I passed some of the dead bodies I could see Erik dragging a girl into one997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhiqTXZE6z
of the houses.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqKT7tZ7H
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSnsZUCNE
I promptly followed him in case he needed back up. I slowly997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbScUuoiYD
opened the door and saw Erik on the girl, trying to take his pants off.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUohukbgfTT
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSqDPdzQk
“Hey, what’s happening here?” I called out. Erik stood up,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hsPGLVAN
his usual smile still there. As the glint in his eye. He walked up to me and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXKq7bFk20
punched me. I reeled more from the shock rather than the force of the punch and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvScV1x9D
then he pulled out his gun on me. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUGdIBtxoU
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqapwMqqb8
“Get the fuck outta here, tell anyone and I’ll find out. I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK58eCMhMZv
won’t be as nice then.” He pushed me out of the house and shut the door. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHwvSqpCJ
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruP5LDXZ8
I stood there. I wanted to run in and save the girl. I wanted997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD3iBFFYu4
to punch Erik and scream at him that we’re here to protect the people not997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vx2Q58K4e
savage them. I was scared. But he was my superior I couldn’t disobey his997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUZ2fBUMUs
order.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfsobHCcs5
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBBoUAX6YI
So here I am sitting on a ruined wall. My nose bleeding on997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMsDhyOvpB
the pages of my diary. Fuck this. Atleast I finally got my excitement.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4W0FerzE

997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeZLUA0i0W
Peter is dead. His squad was ambushed by a child wearing a bomb.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYY0W5Foco
All five of them died. I think Peter died suffering, apparently he survived997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLgJ5nmCxSThey all died heroes.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Lb12LZAv
the initial blast with burns…

anyone here. I want to get out, I want to go back to my mommy. I want to feel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUuDnRkNGZ

Day 50997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRrF1jhVaH
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AZxbIZsI7
I wonder if my pa would be proud of me. If that’s what997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GyUgBnYE1997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b17djzet6
really means to be a soldier.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQbjKBcS4
“Hey come on chickling. Carry my stuff as well.” The day997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9mIfoElh1
began with Erik saying those words to me. It wasn’t anything new, after the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfg6oJu1Kb
incident with the girl and the gun and.. he took a liking to calling me997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJj3MOY8eV
chickling and giving me various idiotic tasks. The sergeant didn’t care997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ3BhqeK2a
and Mel, while at first offering to help and some comfort with her scarce997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRitvZhRQT
talks, stopped after going on patrol with just Erik.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz6lk5Kxk8
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQCtfhStXz
I remember her coming back with a black eye but no one said997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinUmfRRJDd
anything. So I didn’t either and I just accepted my fate. I want to get out997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjqD4NlwZC
I’m a good soldier.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggyIpZRIVy
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x9jXPmhp6
Anyway were ordered to guard a truck carrying vital resources997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOBc1VnBca
to a different base. We were infront off997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pd4fN7Gqi
the truck, on foot. Patroling the road forward to make sure there weren’t any997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALQkHpAnk
dangers, while another squad was with the truck itself and a different squard997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOluzojHod
covered our rear.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60db3jelNx
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUF3o7TheN
I think it happened 2 or 3 hours into our walk. I was already997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKFLFDpYnw. A group of people, children,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ8FMX4dPd
tired after carrying the two bags and the heat
really blocked our way. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5LL9UStpr
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7iXoYA7UP
Josh aimed at his gun and shouted at them to disperse. They997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUMW0AwGHO
yelled something in their own language and held their hands, forming a line.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS3IajXwRe
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsp3xQpCLZ
“Aim and be ready to fire.”997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNzeRMY6J
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOHPkvb9SD
“But sir, they’re just children!” I exclaimed. I didn’t mean997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XnChgWG7b
to be insubordinate but they were JUST children.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF5hkSGTIo
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYO6moxpo9
“Damn it, Williamson, either aim or get out of the way.” The997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yeYtSuu7
sergeant said aiming his gun at the children.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X5AGY59H1
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSBUqPS8K
“Aww poor chickling. Too scared to do anything? Ah well you997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXabdu2cob
might as well leave it to the real soldiers. Right, babe?” Erik said turning to997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21pQh5KwfD
Mel as they both followed the sergeants997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRKzbfzT3L
example.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4nNbyMFbj
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH95BhSsJS
I cursed. I followed the orders and aimed at the children.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWeoGtAYZ
Time seemed to slow as the sergeant screamed an order to disperse again. The997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhcEKwFLuP
children didn’t move.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SuqdVGIhc
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4yTJQju14
“Fire.” The order came, it rang in my ears as I pulled the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLdrebr2sy
trigger. I could see bullets heating the children as one of them fell. Then the997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQStFHbbvD
other, then the other, until finally all of them lay dead.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvK6f0Anvx
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaeXsmWpT
Back then I thought it was atrocious. I killed children. I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpSFAKlITb
was terrified of what I could do, I was terrified of what else I would need to997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOyHrXvfVd
do.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc43npTBGk
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSF3RTzyrJ
But now that I’m back in base and on my bed, with a clear997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSp3tTEKOJ
head. I think I did the right thing. Chances are they were carrying weapons,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshicrPdGC4
Peter’s squad died because of a child after all, killing them all not only997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSc6PqdU9H
