Sniper

I'm am up on the cliff lying down prone tossing some sticks throwing some stones until i heard him say get ready then i aim my rifle steady He said wait! as i lined up the dot he said now!! as i fired the shot as the bullet hit we seen an expressionless face we got up and ran at a very fast pace as we were going home i thought back to that moment he had a family but i had to own up to it Because we are grunts and are done what we are told even when we don't want to But that's a burden we must hold because we were trained that way and that way we will stay.
