Entry 2

Arriving on the front, my eyes were immediately draws to the sight of what I had been dreading throughout the trip... Wagon after wagon of the wounded being shipped back home... Their organs spilling out of their bodies, their faces melted like cheese in a microwave... They're bones, shattered as a vase dropped from a third floor window... And my god... I was about to walk into that... I was about to be where they were... Oh how a shiver ran down my back...

We were soon given our tools of which would cause immense chaos to the enemy and us, a tin helmet and an 'Eclipse .303 rifle'. Escpecially made for each of us in the factories of Luna's rebel army. Somewhere this rifle was crafted by skilled ponies, it's complexaties I've never seen before... And a projectile that kills without magic? I never believed it until I saw it and in that instant I was shifted along, a stampede of men carrying me to the front lines.

Now I'm in the trench lines within what they call a bed but I call it a plank of wood with a blanket. Sleepng accomodations aren't comfy but I heard we will soon be taking theirs! Hopefully we take Celestia's trench soon so we can move up and get a decent nights rest... We attack at dawn...

Entry 3

Just another morning they say... I call it a rude awakening... 'BOOM BOOM BANG BANG' is all I can hear as the cannons fired upon the enemy lines, hopefully they're defenses have been weakened enough so that their Machine Gun positions are severly weakened so that few casualties will occur, however, my unit of 5 men has not been chosen to go over the top yet.

Each of my 5 however seems loyal and determined. Flash, an earth pony who has been here for a few weeks now, is our Engineer, he's in charge of defusing mines, clearing barbed wire and sabotage, Longshot, our sniper, he provides cover for our troops giving use an easier time in crossing 'noponies land' as they call it, Fisher, Sinker and Charger are the MG crew of our unit, serpressing and holding back the enemy by well... Sending them to meet their maker in a hale of led and fire...

I wonder how long til we go over, and if any of our men returned... I hope for Luna's sake... They have...

Entry 5

I've been having nightmares for a while now... After what I saw on that day, I cannot sleep... All I hear now are screams of men being eaten alive, hails of bullet tearing through them... 'shlurp' and my god... their eyes... stone cold eyes with no emotion or care within them... I cannot take it... I'm going insane... Please take me home! I'm cold and frightened... There have been stories of massive creatures crawling across the ground... Completely unstoppable and heading our way! I just wanna go home!

Entry 6

It seems another attack is imminent if we are to succeed... I've been moved to another unit to help with the invasion but I'm highly concerned of our predicament... How long before I end up like one of them? Singing 'Long live the Luna Empire' as bullets obliterate my flesh and turn me to cheese! Fuck... I'm trying to keep cursing out of here but fuck it! I give up! I'm gonna die anyways like all the lambs in here... Massacred like animals... If I don't get out, I'm gonna kill somepony! Some poor motherfucker may even become my dinner... What am I saying? I'm going batshit crazy...

Entry 7

Great... Just fucking great... Luna visited the trenches today, men cheering and greeting her... Jesus I just wanted to go up and punch my sister in the face for doing this... I couldn't though... She's my sister... I just don't know what to do anymore... Suicide is one option or I could just flee... Hide in the country where nopony would find me... Grant me mercy... Jesus Christ grant me mercy! I just want to go! You know what, if I go I'm taking a few of these fuckers with me... No two shits given about it either... I'll happily whack a few of these bastards off if it means I go... I'm so pathetic...

Entry 9

Rumour runs rampant in the trenches... Our spies say that they have massive machines of steel that crawls on rubber tracks... Unstoppable machines that spew smoke and carry massive machine guns and cannons that no one could even imagine... They call them 'tanks' whatever that means... Me? I call bullshit on that! Not even Celestia has the tech for that... So I call absolute and utter bull crap... First to complain gets my middle finger pointed up at them in a big old 'fuck you, I don't give a shit!'... So whatever these things are... They're just stories made up to scare us... Celestian propaganda strikes again!

Entry 1

The inevitable has happened... Civil war has broken out is Equestria... I never through it would happen but here I am, a blue uniform dressing my hide and an Officer badge upon my arm, a chain that locked me into a conflict where not even the strongest Stallion would escape... Training was quite easy but learning to use a mysterious device they call a 'rifle' was a challenge to all, especially the Earth and Pegasi ponies, we Unicorns however managed to work the rifles effectively and so far the trenches await my arrival but a sense of impending doom has spread throughout the train. A feeling that I will not return to see my darling wife and son again... My thoughts are with them now. When will I see them? How are they coping without me? Will they accept me knowing I massacred many ponies, some not even wanting to be there? Best I get some rest for now... The journey ahead will be a long one...

Entry 4

We were sent over the top today... The artilliary did a bloody good job cause not a single enemy position stood... As we entered the trench I found out what hell was like... Men left wounded, holding in their intestines with the chunk of arm they had left... Our poison gas had left puke and shit all over the walls... No one was spared, their skin melted, ponies with their faces half missing from the explosions... One man was burst open from the inside as maggots had blown out of his guts and eyes... Dead ponies roasted for their flesh... Was food rationing that desperate? That ponies would massacre each other and each the decomposing flesh of their commerades? It drove me sick... I can't sleep as the image of those men haunts my nightmares... I joined the army for honour, for glory... Not to see mutilated corpses or cannibal monsters in uniform! I wanna go home... I miss my wife, my son and my daughter! I just wanna go home...

Entry 8

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to write one of these... We managed to take over the enemy trench and finally have a decent bed to sleep in! The enemy MGs were neutralised by artilliary and our men walked across the field as if it was just a walk in the park... Hardly confident boosting when you're led spitter are mor shit at taking out troops than the same amount of men on a cannon... Still, bastards didn't know what hit em! Hooray hoorah for Luna! Long live the rebellion!

I've also started seeing a very sexy mare from the Lunarian air corps... She goes by the name 'Hurricane' apparently and she is the most wonderful mare in existance... We visits us shit eaters here in the trenches and well... She and I clicked straight away! I'm hoping we could have a family as my wife's now divorced me when she heard about me stabbing a guy by accident but... I'm over that and may soon have a chance at true love!

I remember one night we snuck out and went to the old oak behind our lines... We kissed passionately under the moonlight and made sweet sweet love for the stars to see... God the feel of her sweet pussy as I grinded and slammed into her... That wetness just driving me on... It was bliss...

I hope we will marry when this damned war ends and life will return once more! Hooray to Luna and down with Celestia the Tyrant!
