Me, in 'Full Battle Rattle'

We all made promises to each other. I knew my back was allways covered, and that I would neve go hungry or thirsty. My greatest fear was bieng left behind nd being a p.o.w. I told Spc Peed "don't ever leave me out there ok" Now, 'Peedy' is a big ole guy, over 6 feet and not a boney fella either. He told me not to worry. "Ole Peedy will carry you with him if he has to Ladie, but what if I get shot and can't get away? What are you gona do THEN?" I told him I'd drag his big black ass all the way home if I had to, but I sure as shit wouldn't leave him behind either. We shook on it and just sat quiet. Sometimes you said enough and don't need to say any more.
