“Because, Staff Sergeant, this isn’t Hell, this is Heaven, '' answered Clark with a wink, “We’re on American soil, no Rules of Engagement, fighting things that we don’t have to worry about capturing or laws of war, AND most of our weapons are ineffective. So we are called upon to use all our ingenuity and wits to wage war to the fullest! It’s a soldier’s wet dream!”
J.F. Holmes, The Fae Wars: Onslaught

“A few weeks ago, I had tried to eat my pistol and she had stopped me. I had been in a black, black depression at the uselessness of it all, one that had only lifted when I had decided to say screw it and let the chips fall where they may. I really didn’t care anymore what happened to me, but for Brit and our son Nate I would go through hell and back. A few weeks ago, I had tried to eat my pistol and she had stopped me.
