The next day we had to clean out a rocket nest in another hellhole village.

I asked the Captain once if he still believed in the Lord. In what we were doing here.

He said, “I’m trying.”

Five minutes later it was gone. Five minutes after that we remembered to be soldiers.

He was the Captain, but that didn’t mean we had to like it.

And snipers. Long guns behind every fucking boulder.

100 mile round trip through hostile territory.

Land mines. Manpads. Scorpions. “For a 12 year old piece of Syrian pussy?” Blip said. “Fuck.”

Nobody else would say it. But we were all thinking it.

They got Gomez when he stopped to take a piss and stepped on a mine. A medic might have saved him...

But Gomez was the medic.

It made you want to crawl flat. It made you want to tunnel into the sand and hide.

We stopped the trucks, and even Blip shut up, like one stray sound and it would NOTICE us, and that would be the fucking END. The whole desert breathless. Waiting.

There’s only one problem with using a scope.

When the sun catches it, sometimes there’s a flash.

It’s not much...

But a good sniper doesn’t need much.

I’m not saying what happened next was right.

But he’d already gotten two men killed.

And now he was shouting at that thing.

As if he wanted to bring the lightning down on all of us.

I’m sorry.

But I figured you had a right to know.
