When you are a soldier, the prospect of death will have been on your minds from the moment you were notified for operations. Everyone deals with the trauma differently, with emotions ranging from groundless guilt through to silent relief that it wasn’t them. And then it is back to work, the grieving not over but necessarily placed temporarily to the back of the mind. Never vengeful, they return to their duties, ever more determined to ensure that their comrade did not die in vain.
Times, Gordon Messenger
