A different 3 weeks...

"They don't understand why we do it.
They don't understand it's about the man next to you. "

War. It is never about heroics or glory. Neither is it a game for the boys in us men.

War is messy, relentless and brutal. And very much unforgiving. You do not decide who live or die. People die when they die. No one can choose. That is war. There are no heros in wars. Only survivors.

Why do we then fight?

War is about fighting for our rights to believe. To believe what we hold true in our hearts. It is about the sacrifices we make for people we care about and love so dearly. It is about the man fighting along side with you.
