Your writing leads me to believe you have personal combat experience. You certainly have quite the flair for writing it.

Thank you, sir.

Brutal and taut. Nicely done for an engrossing read. I like the unabashed reveling in the grittiness of combat. Too cool.

D-day here we come

I like the energy in the piece.

Graphic, gripping, realistic and electric with detail, this piece is like a flashbulb popping over twenty seconds of time in the faraway land of tracers, IEDs and endless sand and blood.

Very, very nicely done. I love your style of wordplay. Five stars. :)

third place. :D
