Push the Clubman outside and cover with a tarp. Call the Salvos and get them
to come collect the furniture. Do a dump run and get rid of all the shit.

Then park *your* cars in *your* garage.

We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope.
But soldier, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already
dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function
as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion.
Without remorse. All war depends on it.




Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse.
