I heard a statement today that I would like to share with you all. To my mind truer words have never been spoken:-
“Soldiers in combat do not fight for country, family, flag or any notion of right or wrong. They fight for the mate to the left of them and for the mate to the right of them”

My x was a server in the army for 15 yrs /and he said the cameraderie in the forces at times surpasses all others/and unless you have served you will never understand .
I must be thick Way becouse if they didnt join the army…what mates would they fight for? See, told you i was thick! 😀
My man was in the SAS, carried his mate who had been stabbed miles back to safety, even though he knew he wouldn’t make it………and he was right he didn’t………but like you Way, he says they were dependent on each other……..no one else around to depend on.
