Answer 2

I was about to take my regiment’s share of coffee, when suddenly I heard a sharp cry of pain. I looked up to see the lieutenant wincing in pain, holding his bloodied arm. He was hit by a sniper. I was stunned, but in a moment I regained my composure and rushed forward to help. He wouldn’t let us help him, so I followed him to the field hospital.

As the doctor examined him, I was dead sure that amputation was the only option the doctor had to save the lieutenant. That is how it is in the line of fire. A freak bullet takes your life or limb. I am a soldier, yet the tragedy and absurdity of war struck me as sharply as a bullet as I walked through the hospital tents filled with amputees, their eyes staring into their hopeless future.
