Day Eight:


There are many ways one may describe a soldier. Some call them patriots, while others call them bandits. Some fight in groups for a single cause, or alone for selfish needs. To become a soldier, you need to let go of everything you care about. Brainwash yourself into it. Every day can be your last, and the last thing you want is being distracted by family in a gun fight. Fear is not an option.
Being a soldier will change you. The most important thing to you while in a battle would be you, your gun, and the men standing next to you. These allies are fighting for the same cause, might as well get to know them. In many ways, being in an Army as a Soldier is a lot about team effort. If one man falters, or fails to accomplish a task, the army can suffer major losses only because of that one person. Also, the things you see while on the job, are unimaginable to most. Think about it. A huge group of men, killing another huge group of men. It disturbs people. It still disturbs me too. You learn to cherish life more, and how precious your existence really is.
