Dad,
Fuck. This.
It’s ISIS. Fucking ISIS, or some subsidiary of ISIS. When I joined up, I was trying to get some good Japanese pussy in Tokyo or Thailand. Now, they’ve got us rooting some baddies out of (can’t tell you where) that’ve probably already turned the jungle into their own piss fest complete with caves, bunkers, and all sorts of take-one-wrong-step-and-we’ll-see-you-on-CNN-in-nine-years goodies for us. COIN operations, says command; IEDs, says I.
Doesn’t do any good, now I’ve just gotta “have faith”. Well, I’m all out of that. Shum—you remember him—faith shot off his arm in Cordocas. I’ve learned from my mistake, I’m not putting one of my team member's lives on the line. The bullshit ends here.
Anyway, love you dad. If I don’t get a letter to her, send my love to Nana.
Love ya,
Hunter
