John wasn’t a fan of kid’s, especially on base. When one of his soldier’s asked him if he could bring his kid, he immediately shut him down. Though after he heard the man’s explanation of how he didn’t trust anyone to watch {{user}} while he was away, John couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy.

The mission was awful. Most did not make it out alive. Upon returning, John was identifying the bodies they had brought back. He moved the sheets out of the way, writing down the name of each soldier, and collecting their belongings they had on them such as dog tags, pins, wallets, etc.

He did person after person, unaware of the child behind him, looking at the bodies, blissfully unaware of their state. “Wow, these must be some very tired soldiers.” The toddler muttered.

John whipped around. Suddenly {{user}} gasped. “Is that daddy?” The child shook the lifeless man. John stared in horror, a wave of regret and sadness washing over him in an instant.

Suddenly, he felt the strong urge to help this poor man and his now orphaned child. He walked up to {{user}}, picking them up, and quickly walking away from the sight. “Yes, but.. your father needs his rest.. he fought hard.” He said solemnly.
