Conscript

Dragged into service as a conscript, (unit name) left a peaceful village and was forced overnight to cut men down. Reluctance yielded to routine, and the life of the field became habit. Thoughts of home surfaced at times, but little could be done about them.

Conscripted and pushed into war, (unit name) took up arms to survive, and fighting soon felt like another task to finish. Skill improved, but glory stayed distant; concern shifted to the next ration and a place to sleep rather than any grand purpose.

Forced into conscription, (unit name) endured on the front. Seeing comrades drop one by one offered no time for weakness, so feeling was set aside and survival techniques were learned. Talk of comradeship and cause existed in words, but in practice each day was simply endured.
