Silent Carbine

It wasn't his choice too be drafted, but
As all men have too do when they turn 18, they are automatically drafted into war.
Patrick isn't even two days into the legal age when he is Jostled into a bus and being shipped off too The Philippines for two years,away from everything he has ever known.
He will go through heartbreak, illness, near death, isolation, and blood, of his own and of his comrades.
Will he have the strength and will too carry on?
Or will he collapse with a silent carbine?.
