Moving on...

Each day that passes he realizes that he's one day closer to home. One day closer to the one he loves. Maybe his adversaries think the same thoughts but he doubts it.

If they survive the day they probably think that they've failed. That they are one step closer to heaven but not quite there yet. One step closer to the fifty virgins they've been promised.

That's what really sets us apart. We fight harder, we fight smarter because in the end we have something to live for. He knows that when it comes right down to it all he wants is to return home - that's his goal. He'll do whatever is necessary to reach that goal - even if it becomes necessary to kill to achieve it.

It's been said that the goal of war isn't to die for your cause - it's to make the other guy die for his.
