Every battle had two stories to be told. There is the story in history books, the one created by experts... and then there is the soldiers story. The one with all the details and where every last second of the fight is drawn out for you. These are some of the soldiers tails, the ones you won't find in a library or a textbook. These are the diaries of those who were actually there and those who actually witnessed the following events.
The Feilds Outside of Fillydelphia: One of the many battles
They were trying it again, those idiots. They were actually going to try and take our preciouse city again. Even after the countless lives lost Rainbow Dash had decided to send her troops back to our gate! It still shocks me this whole war. We are constently trying to take cities from each other, and each time, wether victory or loss, we always end up with a feild full of dead ponies. I know exactly how this battle will end, as well as the next and the next. The death toll just keeps rising and rising. This is truely one of the worst events in Pony history.
I can hear the horns and battle cries of the enemy. I can here the stamping of their hooves as they charge us. I can only watch from my wall potition, but below I wait to see the bloody mess of ponies unfold. Our lines look tense, but everypony is, even I am, and I'm an archor on the wall...well above the battle. The enemy lines still charge through the feild. I can see them aproaching our archor range. I know that half of them will fall before they reach us, just like last time. There's the first horm... to raise or bows.
I have been firing for hours now. My front legs and hooves feal like jello. At first we fired up and into the feild but then we began firing strait down. For all I know I could have accidentally hit one of my soldiers. The whole fight was just a dlur of ponies and a mix of claching metal and screams. We did defend our city, but at a caust. I'm telling you our leaders have no idea what war's like! I'm sick and tired of this! I don't want to see any more of this madness, but I have to. I have to defend not my beleifs... but my family and my town. I can't stop even if I want to.
This soldier is Corporal Sure Shot. He survived his entire deployment and was given the honorary service award after his second deployment. he took part in this battle and many others. He donated this journal entree from his diary after his retirment.
