Quote #10
He indulges in another episode of the ranch fantasy, but now while he and Faison are having sex ten times a day he's also thinking about Bravo back at FOB Viper, getting slammed every time they go outside the wire. So he puts that inside the fantasy, how much he'd miss his fellow Bravos, he would mourn them even as they live and breathe. They are his boys, his brothers. Bravos would die for one another. They are the truest friends he will ever have, and he'd expire from grief and guilt at not being there with them. (Proud.60)
This is more than duty: this is love. Billy loves his brothers, and that's going to be the only thing that stops him from abandoning them in order to save his own skin. How many times can you say you've felt that way about anybody? And why is the Army so successful in creating these bonds between people from all different backgrounds, colors, and beliefs, when it seems like everywhere else we fail?
