Poll_Blind's Journal - Mr. Pereda and Mr. McCain will be coming home for the holidays early this year.

For all the wrong reasons.

I am genuinely sorry, gentlemen. I thought I had done something which would have seen you both come home under better circumstances.

War.

And so much of it!

And new plans for new wars.

Circling angels of vengeance or at least righteousness, impatient.

All the strength and resolve in the world!

Yet too weak to meet the gaze of the dead.
