[PI]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

Dear Jane,

Its been a few weeks and I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I hope the girls are doing well and that your new job at the mill is good.This war is taking a toll of soul and body. I know that they are the enemy now but I can't. Every time we are caught in a skirmish I aim too low or above then praying to God I don't hit Anyone, I believe in my cause but I can't fight for it, the others have not noticed this and I hope they never do. I want to be part of this moment and look back and tell others what I've done to make this country better. I'm sorry for sounding like a coward and I hope you don't see me as one. We advanced farther into Indiana but every step I take here feels to quick. The higher ups say the enemy is well gone and have moved into Indianapolis but I don't feel right. Lousville was nothing but rubble. The city reeked of death. The drones knocked out a few civilian districts but no one will talk about it. They say its a war but I can't believe it. I know they won't let this letter reach you but I have to try. I'm sorry for getting sidetracked. How is Mary's ba-

Hello Jane,

I'm sorry to inform you but your husband was a coward. He didn't belive in his cause. He wasted your precious goverments bullets that were meant for my brothers. His own men have died because of his attempts to protect his soul. He chose wrong in this war and he had to pay the price. I found him hiding in his tent not trying to stop the death of his comrades, begging not to kill him, but I had to and do not regret it. He was representing my enemy. My enemy which you yourself have chosen to follow, for this I do not feel sorry for you. He was not a coward for being scared of war, but because he seeked glory that didn't belong to him, he saw himself superior to my belief in freedom. In a way I have given you his last words for which you were never meant to see. I hope your children learn from there father's mistake and survive this war. God bless, Your husbands killer
