Soldier's heart to heart, part 2 of 2:
Goddamn! Once you got no legs, everyone takes everything so serious. I mean, there's only so much any of us have any control of, good or bad. If you didn't learn that in Afghanistan, you were not paying attention.
-So, you're not gonna yell at me?
I mean, ma'am... Kim, you've got to move on. You're giving yourself way too much credit. You embrace the suck, you move the fxck forward.

We don't wear IBAs (Individual Body Armor) on the FOB (Forward Operating Base) I don't even chamber a round in my weapon anymore, because, you know, I figure accidental discharge is scarier than the Taliban.
-With Iraq, do you feel like people have forgotten about Afghanistan?
Well... Yes, ma'am. I'd say that surely is the word for it. This here's a forgotten war. It's capital F, capital W.
