This is really sad. Honestly, i though the concept was good, typical, but good. You could have done much more with it and i wish you did... goo attempt. P.S. i don't like the font, its hard to read....

There is no room for the pain to get to you. There are so many that have died to save our butts, and most American's have no idea. Thanks for showing them a slice. Well done.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Certainly intense with unbelievable suffering. Each step that is taken is realistic and harsh. This is very good and different writing. Good work.

This is powerful work. Despite the lack of punctuation, it works and reads like prose. The treatment of the subject matter seems distant and detached but this is well done here. Your words have made me stop and think hard about what it means to be in the armed forces. I don't know how those individuals do what they do, when the training itself is that gruelling. They have my respect.

Very powerful read. I know that you wrote this way intentionally, but some minimal punctuation might help. Maybe it was your intention for us to read without stopping, kind of like the situation you describe.

I'm an Air Force veteran myself, and I would not have wanted to be placed in combat zones. Granted, it limited the job opportunities, but I don't really feel the average US man is going to be able to stay strong if a woman is targeted for abuse and worse by the enemy. I'm in favor of women in combat, but only if they can do everyting the men in the unit can do. Preferential treatment should not be given based on sex...and you've painted a stark picture of exactly why not.

Hi Deepwater, this story cuts deep and those back home never know and never will what this young man really goes through. War is harsh and unrelenting. Fancy seeing your mate shot in the back of the head just for information.
Well told. luv jada

It's very moving, especially since this seems to be a never ending battle now. The way you wrote it makes it sound more like someone trying to tell their story in a hurry, as if every second counts. Very well done.

Your messsage is a good one, Gary. But I must say that fiction without punctuation is very awkward to me--don't know when to pause or where one sentence ends.
Would be a great piece, with a few periods.

You paint an accurate description of the horrors of war. I really wish that we did not have to send men or women into the front lines. Maybe one day war will not be necessary
