I imagine that the trekking journey must be so hard and challenging the way you described them here. I like how you self motivated yourself with "those lads had it more harder than me last time, I can do this, I got this lot easier than them 18years old soldier at war". The fact that they took Captain Templeton in the beginning and left the young soldiers without their veterans leader, with their smaller numbers against enemy 1:10 ratio, against all odds and still won the war sounds magical to me. Would you post about how they tackle the Japanese soldiers in the next post? On the side note, perhaps I'm biased,I find man tend to challenge themselves through challenging experience that will cost them their life if the odds is against them as if those experience serve as rite of passage from boyhood to manhood. From your writing you just wanted to know how to be on those soldiers shoes at war last time and I'm sure you learn and grow from those experiences too. I think you were a soldier in one of your many past lifetimes. Haha
