Don't bring unnecessary feelings into the battlefield.
Every aspect of combat is built upon a waiting game—both you and the enemy are waiting for the other to let their guard down. You're pushing and pulling for that window of hesitation.
A real soldier has to be prepared for any situation, even when it comes to playing an undesirable role. Men are often trapped in glass cases, exposed, torn between responsibility and desire. Ultimately, the distinction between man and soldier lies in their priorities.
i'm looking out for our sanity, it isn't a matter of bad intentions. as the men we are, we have a reputation to keep. you shouldn't underestimate how quickly soldiers will start gossiping.
