A CHILD IN RED (3): Horrors of War

Day 3 – SPC Kevin Walsh

The sound of Afsoon singing woke him up before the lights turned on. Fumbling around, he found his flashlight under a pile of papers on the desk where she was busy drawing. Clicking the rubber button illuminated the corner. He flashed it over toward her. She smiled back at him. The crisp incandescent light illuminated her green eyes and cast a crisp shadow behind her.

Quotes by Adam Fenner  (?)

“An infantryman’s job is to deliver his enemies into the waiting hands of Death. It is Doc’s job to protect his brothers from Death, to knock him aside and say, “Not today.”
Adam Fenner

“When we deployed, in our heads, the towel we left hanging next to the shower to dry, would still be hanging there when we got back. Well, it won’t be. If it is, some important questions need to be asked.”
Adam Fenner, Post-Deployment Wisdom For The Returning Service Member

“There are two things a combat deployment offers which all of us strongly desire. The first, being purpose. Every morning we woke up and knew why we were there. It is immediate and unavoidable. Although, it is extreme and unpleasant, there is a comfort in that purpose. The second, is simplicity. We have one goal. There are relatively simple rules on how to accomplish it, and we understand that just about everything will go wrong. Pretty simple.”
Adam Fenner, Post-Deployment Wisdom For Those Expecting A Returning Service Member

“Foreshadowing: Was my challenging Allah to unleash the full weight of his fury upon us, with dark clouds looming in the distance.”
Adam Fenner, On Two Fronts

Adam Fenner, Post-Deployment Wisdom For The Returning Service Member

“The beauty of the infantry is its ability to truly teach tolerance. At the lowest level, when it is simply a matter of survival to count on everyone around you, regardless of religion or skin color, the only logical option is to ignore the differences.”
Adam Fenner

“I miss it: the smell of sand, sweat, and gunpowder, rings of salt from dried sweat on my pants’ legs, and around my waist just under where my armor sits.”
Adam Fenner
