"Six year. Six years I have been away from home. Six years I have been on some planet fighting. Fighting for my life. The life of my men. The life of the people back home. Six motherf*cking years me and my men have been away fighting a war that the people back home don't even know about." I think to myself moments before I have to force my men to fight.
I walk out of my room. It is only a room I have given myself to think and work of strategy. The room next to me if for my friend before the war and now the leader of a team that fights beside mine. Sixteen teams went here. All with about thirdy soldiers. Now there is three teams and no more then a hundred soldiers left between the three teams. The third team doesn't fight with use. They guard a queen or something.
"So, are you ready?"

"Captain Bryant Cyril reporting for duty sir!" I remember those words so clearly. It was like a movie. The young upstart officer, eager for combat. I was young, full and patriotism and pride. Eager to fight for my planet and to prove to the galaxy that Earth is no pushover. That was six years ago. Six long, tired, blood soaked years ago. No I sit on my cot, cleaning the dirt and tar from the muzzle of my battle weary M-21 assult rifle. I dont have that vigor, that heart full of patriotism anymore. I just wanna end this war and see my new baby boy.
*Stands and throws his rifle over his shoulder* "Ready brother."

I walked to the area where our men stood in our wait. I felt the same as Bryant. We rarely talked anymore. Not because we hated one another but because we had nothing to say anymore. Everyday was the same. Every event we did together. Only time we talked was when we had to report something or make a battle strategy. "Want me to do the talking to the troopers?" I asked Bryant. Sometimes he just couldn't do it. I know, I had those days too. Like i said me and him felt the same about this war. We just had to make the Soldiers believe our hearts were still in it.

I looked at those men as I stood there. I could see the look in there eyes. They all felt the same. Some looked as they felt. Tired, pissed off, and sick of this planet. Some tried to hide it. One of which was my squad Lietenent. Lt. Hartsock. Hes a younger Lietenent, but his youth was lost under a mass of pain and hardend wit. he always stayed so strong
"No brother. I can do this one."
I stood in front of our men and pace back and forth.
"Ten hut!" All men stand at attention.
"Tuck in your shirts ladies, were goin out to dance with Charlie. Our sentiniel scouts have detected an enemy base 76 clicks south west of our position. They arent, I repeat, arent ready for us. We move at 0700 hours"!

I looked at Bryant. He informed the Troopers but didn't move them. I took that has my cue to jump in. "Troopers! Soldiers! Fellow Humans! We go to war again. I know we do it a lot but F*ck we are good at it! No one has stopped us. No one can stop us but us. So we are going to go there and we are going to show them.. show the guys higher up that we wont break. We are strong. Humans are Strong! Lets show the guys we kill that our guns are strong. Our Aim is perfect and our bullets can go through anything! ARE YOU WITH ME!"
I always said something like that but I always made it sound better somehow.
