"Revenge by young men is considered victory, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose know better."
-Chief Seattle

.
In the blissfully quiet moments that sometimes descend around them, when the other side is as weary as they are, a conscripted soldier writes.
There is much to write about - fellow soldiers, gunfire and miles and miles trod with sockless feet and tattered boots squelching in mud and dying grass. But more than that, there is the longing for hearth and home, and words for things long left behind.
The soldier travels three thousand miles longing for home. The soldier finds it the day before death.
