so i think i might have made a mistake. too many things have entered my mind recently. i don't know if it's because i've been in 3-4 fire-fights, but i'm realizing some things. i'm not going to go into it, but if you must know, ask and i'll say what i can. i don't even know what i'm thinking anymore.
i'm just taking this one day at a time, one mission at a time. ...
i know i've always said i don't regret anything i've done in my life, but i think i found one.

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
War at a distance, from the safety of the Pentagon, or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., or behind the keyboards of the Fighting 101st, is not terrible enough. They have grown too fond of it.
