On to Europe

Larry Bennett wrote about how life was in teh army during WWII, and it's really scary and lonely. You get to meet people, but if something happens to you or to them, you won't know what would happen to your friendship, would both stay behind to help each other? It shows that soldiers wishes they were home with their family and not having to worry about being killed, or surprised attacks, just live their lifes normally. But they couldn't. Instead, they spent days, without eating and living in the woods, their only goal was to survive. Larry seems afraid of everything that can happend to him, and wants to go home. But somehow he forgets a little about that because he's focused on surviving the little fires he's been through, and when he was almost killed by a granade, but wasn't because he hid behind a rock that protected him. He reminded himself about his mother and girlfriend's birthday and wanted to be with them. Life in the army was really hard and scary, but the soldiers couldn't give up now, they had to go through it all, and it's much worse than we can ever imagine.
