Writing on the wall...

As we walk out to the helicopter I notice the bullet hole in the windshield – it’s high and to the right. Some one has circled it with a magic marker and wrote “Missed, you son of a Bitch!!” next to the circle. I suppose that pretty much sums up most soldier’s attitudes – regardless of whether one believes we should be here or not, if someone is shooting at you, they are the enemy. And there’s a lot of shooting going on.
