Remember what we're fighting for.

Ten years of deployment, yet, we're still on the defense, no offensive operations were conducted. They keep on raining death upon us. Night or day, we hear the canons roaring, artillery shells crashing down upon the battlefield, this was like the Second World War, just worse. All our allies are having it as bad. Equestria, the smallest of us already capitulated, and you don't want to know what happened to them. All of us tried to evacuate their civilians, that, ended up with twelve thousand casualties on our side and one thousand escorted out. From what I've heard, their place is hell.

Still, this is a war we have to fight, we're fighting for our freedom, liberty. I couldn't bear to see my family captured and think that I could've helped it. Never in our entire history has a war been so brutal, I can smell the scent of my fellow soldiers, dead. Before, desertion could go unpunished, but now. Whoever does that will be rushed back into the field, even executed. I understand, we aren't in a position to lose soldiers.

My team is destined to be deployed on the Equestrian front lines soon, along with a couple others. From what I've heard, it's going to be worse. They made sure to keep Equestria so that our morale is low.*BOOM*

"RETALIATE!" That was our captain, Cap. William Deputy. Our artillery retaliated with shots from both sides, their soldiers were trying to push us out of this position. We weren't going to let go so easily. The sound of gunshots were heard for miles, bodies being shredded by LMGs, machineguns, shrapnel, ricochet. We still had casualties, all the time it was the same. One side would go on the attack, and they would suffer heavy casualties, we learned that later. We were far more advanced technologically but they outnumbered us. Everyday they would send their soldiers into a meat grinder. Hoping that we would stop getting ammunition or food. That never happened.

Still some of us died, "No!Stay with me!" That's one of our soldiers, pleading to however is still in the skies to help his friend, we hope that that will happen, it never does. Reality is harsh. Harsher than anything that we know. I learned five years ago to let everything go, my father and mother died from a bombing, my daughter is dead, all I have is me, my wife, and my son.

We know that heaven exists, we know that there is an afterlife, but we don't want to take it, it would leave our generations to pay. They would have to suffer for us. We won't let that happen. Every day we keep on working, the soldiers on the battlefield, the women in the industries, and maybe and that's a big maybe some offices. Society isn't the same.It changes, we all change. And damn have I changed.

The only thing that's keeping our morale high, is what we're fighting for.

Not the comedic story you're waiting for, I'm having trouble with ideas, and I don't write if I don't feel like it.
Sry.
