Pilot
fighting in the air and sea
who feels the damage of the war and ship and body
who need food and water and friends
who fears the death of people around them losing their country
who loves their freedom, friends and family
who thinks about the worry of his or her family
who believes in their countries freedom
soldier
fighting on the ground doing whatever it takes
