He had seen all of his past brothers in arms die, he knew that every time a brother died, he died a bit too. He had thought about leaving the military, but it was the only thing he knew, the only thing he could do, and it was the only thing he was now allowed to do. You don't go leave Black Op's, unless it's in a coffin, and he knew that when they drafted him. They gave him a choice, but he didn't give himself one. The instant he said yes, he knew it would be his death, but then it was already too late. He never thought he'd get killed, but right now, his future wasn't too bright.…
