There are no hero's on the front lines. No one goes in seeking glory. Causalities are the result of generals and kings who cannot agree. We the soldiers suffer the losses. Friends fall in battle, and there is no fog in war. There are only enemies and bullets flying. At the end, both sides have bodies to heap up. Whether in the streets or on the battle field, there is no clear winner. There are only shattered bodies and those who have survived by some miracle, and have to live on with shattered minds. They relive the battle each day, recounting the losses of friends and trying to understand the cost of war.
