BOOM,BANG once again I was out in the mists and horrors of this bloody war. People dying as we moved forward. Everyone you knew obliterated into nothing. Not one day goes by that I can’t forget the vanquished faces that fell before my feet ,as I watched them I could do nothing about it .

You have no idea how scared I am, I cant sleep, I cant eat, all I can think about is, if we put our guard down for even 1 second we might be ambushed and killed.
