AHHH!!!! Soldiers?? I'm getting a feeling of deja vu' here. I seem to recall this title from either ages ago and/or the old site, yes? Either way, I'm tickled to see it, or a similiar, story!

Author's Response: I posted the first three chapters of this story over a year ago, then realized I didn't want to post it in chunks. I'd rather finish a story, then I can edit it and maintain cohesion throughout. I'm a stickler for consistency. So I deleted those old chapters and started afresh. You may have read the earlier version.
