"I wonder if they've said goodbye to their families before they die?" He looked at the flickering campfire, "and I wonder if they've attended their children's football game?"

"I-I know... It's just-- it's scary, you know? To go out there and not knowing what will happen every time?" He answered while he hugged his trembling legs, "you don't know if you will die, or if your friend will die..."
