Today we are getting ready to go out again. This time it is going to be somewhat more dangerous than we had yesterday. When the words like 'Marines being killed' is said in the same sentence of today's mission, it does seem to bring out some sense of dread out of you. But we do now show fear. We do not falter. We are Marines, we do not lose. There is not one word spoken as we set off in the Humvee to a part of Fallujah.
Galland is especially gone nervous, he has not even blinked an eye. I think the poor man is terrified beyond tomorrow. How do you reassure a man that everything shall be okay when you have no idea of knowing it yourself? But I know that he is strong and that there is nothing that will break him down. Yes, there is only one thing that he cannot see past at a time like this, is us being taken hostage before. The word kills Marines has the same effect as what it has on the rest of the squad.
