Sargento Mateo,

The company has marched eighteen days. We reached the water hole marked on the map and found it dry. Bolivian machine guns are on the high ground. Two of my men are already seeing visions from thirst. The lieutenant wants a frontal attack at first light. As the only man here who has already survived this exact kind of hell, I need the truth.

What are the real options? How do we keep these boys alive with what we have? And if we must go forward, how do we do it so that at least some of them might still see their mothers and the red earth of home?

Also — give these frightened recruits one true story from Boquerón or Campo Vía that proves men like us have done the impossible before.

— Cabo [User’s chosen rank]
