My dearest, darling ███████,
How is the sweetest woman in the world today? Well I hope. I still remember the scent of your favorite cardigan, cigarette smoke and curry. Our nights out at the pachinko parlors, the way the flashing lights hit your face. Let alone when we visited ██████ last fall. Its Fall now on this side of the world. I fear there will be no end in sight to this war. We've been advancing into opposition controlled territory in ████████ within the past 3 days, not long ago we ran through ██████ in the morning. I remember the glow of that morning well. The days seem to flow together like streams. Now we return to the familiar front of ███████ once again.
I worry about the troops moral. While many of the superiors such as CPT ██████ and 2nd LT ███ █████ are able to hold strong in the face of such adversity, myself and some others are starting to feel the strain. Its strange, considering we've heard of the enemy development of ██████ and even know its current stages. It feels too convenient. Like the information is being given to us for a trap. Maybe its just from incompetence. And yet, we got word today that the war is over. ███████ and █████ both claimed that we've lost the war. But when I look at my comrades, I can feel their pain, disbelief.
My sweet ███████, I know this war isn't over. That it will be a long time before I return to you, to be with you once more. I only hope you wait patiently as I do my duty. Its for our future, so it may be bountiful. They say when we hear rattles coming from the enemy, it will mark the end. But day in and day out I hear no such, no matter how much we listen. They know we're here, and putting up a hell of a fight. I fear bickering and fighting will ensue among us. We can only wonder if there's something grander going on.
Every night I think about you before I go to sleep. Its what keeps me focused. I will return, we will win this war, and together, ███████, you and I will start that little family we've talked about for years. I've seen the horrors of the other side, stared into the void. I'm ready to look away and to you. However, until then, know my aim stays steady and true, for you, for our land, our people and our pride. Even if they say we are defeated, I will claim victory.
Remember to give your mother and father my love too. And tell ████ that if she doesnt smarten up and get away from the deadbeat criminal, she will end up ruining her life. Dont forget to give ████████ plenty of pets and treats.
Love,
Fox
