“Ready? Onward…March!” General Worshawski commanded.
All the other soldiers gathered their guns and prepared for combat. Sweat dripped of my face and my fingers were clammy. For the first time in forever, I was actually nervous! The last time I was nervous, I was being taken away from my family. Ever since they found out I carried the virus that made me a super soldier. The screams and cries still ring in my ears. That was then. This is now. Snapping out of my flashback, I gripped my gun even more tightly. We were headed towards the Outer Provinces. The rebellion was starting to take over near the Outer Provinces. We were ordered to attack their capital, Osu. I shouldn’t think about joining the rebellion, because the government would torture me in the worst way possible. As we entered the hover-ship, I wondered what the rebellion would be like.
I spot the hover-ship, and warned the others with the warning whistle. It was chaos. All the neighbors were frantic and I scurry to help the elderly. As the last elderly go inside, the hover-ship gets closer and closer and closer AND then they landed. A shriek died in my throat. My body automatically responded to the finding the closest hiding place there. Behind the giant capital building, the hover-ship lands, and soldiers come pouring out. I should be one of them. When I was 5, my mother told me to keep my identity hidden, because there was a world out there that would take me to be a soldier. That I would never see her again. My mother took my face and looked me in eyes. Her face looked weary and her eyes looked more urgent than ever.
“Never let that happen...”
Those were her last words.
I exited the air craft following all the other soldiers. My job was to exterminate the villages near the Capitol building. While I worked, the others go inside, and get the Brains to surrender. The trees blew in

    War has a lasting effect on misguided and misinformed teenagers who rashly make the decision to join the army without the appropriate knowledge on what war is really like. In the novel, ‘B for Buster’, by Iain Lawrence, which takes place on an airbase in England, readers can delve into a tale of woe and horror experienced by members of the air force. It is this woe and horror occurring in the air force that a young boy from Canada named Kak has come to know.

    Memoirs from the trenches

    It’s cold. My feet are wet and everywhere I turn I see rats. Remember how excited and happy I was to enter into this war? Well, that changed once I stepped foot on these grounds. Remember when I kissed Angela on the forehead right before I left and I said, “I’ll be home soon to kiss you again.” Well, I think that was our last kiss. Remember how I said everything will be alright and I’ll be perfectly fine.” Well, I regret saying that. Remember how I said. “Its only a summer war mom. No need to be so worried. I’ll be back, right before Christmas eve.” Well, that turned into a lie. It’s disgusting. There’s not much to eat around here, so I eat lice and the rats that I can find. I haven’t taken a shower in over two weeks. I wish I was home right now wrapped up in that warm blanket you made me. These trenches they have us in are so small. It seems like everything around me is crammed up. Maybe it’s just me. You know how claustrophobic I get sometimes. It’s horrible here. Every day, every hour, one of the friends I had made here at this war is gone. Their bodies, lifeless and cold on these floors. No one cares to pick them up and move them. So they just lie there. As I walk past them I look at their faces. Roger Linopsy. That’s the last body I saw before I wrote this letter to you. Two kids and a wife back home. Well, he no longer has a home. He’s in heaven where the rest of my 184 friends I’ve made in this war are. Yes im keeping track. Every name, it’s written down on these few papers I have, because if I ever get out of this brutal war I want to tell their families myself that they passed on to a better life than what they were living. No family member deserves to hear that their loved one has passed away from someone that barely knew them. As I look around I see smoke coming from everywhere. I hear gun fires coming from everywhere. Yelling, screaming, and cries for help…

    Enthused with patriotic sentiments, civilians who chose fighting for the preservation of the Union, or perhaps to punish the rebellious South, craved the “glory” of battle. Even as the numerous state militias proudly wore gaudy, impractical uniforms and excitedly waited for the fighting, the few seasoned generals they had, attempted to whip them into a functioning army. This was not an easy task, seeing as the would-be soldiers consistently undermined any and every authority figure by ignoring orders, asking for reasons to obey, and breaking rank whenever the felt the urge. Not to mention that the number of commanders who knew how to turn civilians into warriors was dreadfully low. None of these men had a clue what was in store for them, in what would be a much longer and bloodier war than they expected. Through the excited eyes of young volunteers, the war looked to them like a “great adventure,” and those who were not be accepted went home with hanging heads.1 Men saw the Civil War as a chance to defend “The land of my childhood my love and my tears; the land of my birth and my early sunny years.”2 The sword had been drawn, and the men of the Union army gave off an aura of “passion” for the…

    The next day woke me by the sound of gun fires and our men yelling waking us up. We grabbed our gear and hid behind the rough hills as a shield. It started, as frightened as I already was my friend had just got killed by the blazing bomb. I didn’t know how to feel about it in this rush of survival, so I ran as the next bomb was coming my way. But what could I do about it? I have to protect myself as well. I didn’t put my life at stake I was forced like all the other soldiers. My life is at risk and if I survive I will go home with proud survival guilt. As I had just lost focus of what was happening because I was so shocked thinking this is what war really is; a gun manages to pass through my arm as if I’m not weak already. I fall down to the ground with the scent of dirt southing (soft rustling) through my nose. A blurred vision of my troops fighting was the only other sense apart from the sound of air raid sirens and drones. I can’t believe no one has noticed me, they probably have but don’t…

    I stood up with a groan. In the distance, I could hear the cracks of gunfire and the loud, heart-stopping sound of artillery hitting the ground. I couldn’t help but think that with every explosion I heard, men would die. It’s a thought that only us soldiers could understand. I crept along the trench, towards the bunk area. I turned into the small room. There was a dim, somewhat melancholy lantern lit in the far…

    Looking around at the battlefield, it was like it was straight out of a history textbook. Blue and gray clad men dotted the fields. Cannons stood on the top of rolling hills, periodically spitting out rounds. The tangy odor of sulfur coated the atmosphere. Thundering gunshots echoed through the land… I could feel the explosions in my body.…
