This was very well done. It is a serious narrative but very realistic of what the special forces and many regular military units have to endure during service to their country. I salute you and all those who have sacrifice greatly to serve in such capacities. Well done...Gideon

Thank you for this real description of war. While enemies claim the obey the rule of war we know they don't.
America produces strong steadfast soldiers that do give their life to save others. Women have no place in war.
Frankly I am not sure the even belong in the military.
Everything about war and the military must be brutal in order to survive. Women are nurturers and teachers, not warriors.
I like your writing and your attitude!

Sad, horrific and I know very true. You did a wonderful job of bringing the emotions out for the reader to feel right along with you.

This was a pretty intense piece of writing, but I know for a fact that these thing have happened and will happen again. War is such a fruitless pursuit. Fought by brave souls that will give their all. I found this piece to be well written and to hinge on the truth of what really happens... John

This is so intense. I really don't believe in women fighting in the war, but that's just my feelings. I don't know how most men do it. It has to be the most frightening thing in the world. I admire and respect anyone in the armed forces. My prayers and heart go out to each of them. It's always an honor to know one. This story is so expressive and written with the knowledge of truth. That's obvious. This is an excellent read, God bless you!

deepwater,
Your story is well written and a riveting read. Vivid imagery, excellent narrative, and very descriptive writing. I especially enjoyed the lines:
Naked in a cold wet room hands and feet tied, kicked and beaten half to death
Name, rank and number is given again followed by more beating and kicks
Food and water denied and forget cries for help, you are captive
For the first time you?re on your own, split from the team, survival mode
No sleep but more beatings no food, water just beatings, you think of home

Profound writing in your story. You're a very talented writing and it shines through in your poetry or writing.
Melissa.
