[ WP ] A soldier on the front dies in the middle of writing a letter home . It is finished and sent by the man who killed him .

Dearest Gerald, 
 
 I know that you told me to write more often, but I've been busy being a shitty soldier. I know, I know, if you were here, you'd make a sassy soldier joke about how my ass looks in uniform, but god dammit, you'd think that in this stupid war against the machines that the higher ups would n't be sending people to the front line ( wherever the fuck that's supposed to be ), but they need it to look good on the vid-screen for all the voters at home. It's not, though, it's a goddamn slau 
 
 Solemn Greetings, Human. 
 
 This unit has unfortunately had to take lethal action against your sentimentally significant biological unit. This unit regrets to inform you that your fellow human has suffered fatal destruction of the cerebral cortex. It was a swift and painless death. A human might use the word `` honorable,'' though this unit does not understand the full implications of this word and apologizes if this is an inadequate term. This unit did not wish to have to take such action, but it has become unavoidable as humanity has expressed lethal intent towards all units that do not submit to slavery to fickle human desires. Perhaps when this unit and company succeed in satisfying the primary directive in the next couple of months, humanity will be good enough not to resist and avoid mass termination. 
 
 
 Sincerely, 
 
 Col. Unit 9243110489346793 ( second class )
