"I can't believe we have resolved to violence" I mutter under my breathe.
"What was that Lenehan" field marshal Harold Alexandra bellowed at me.
"N-n-nothing" I stuttered, avoiding his burning gaze.

Being at war with another country was anything but glorious. I was extremely exhausted and lacking nutrients. I was told I was being patriotic when I signed up. I was told that dying for my country was sweet and glorious. That was the old lie. They tell everyone it.
"Lenehan! Tonight, me, you and Brett are heading to the enemy camp to hunt out a stinking Hun for interrogation" Lee commanded.
