Another soldier: “You have no second chance here.”

(Seldom are soldiers as angry as portrayed in movies. Mostly, soldiers are tired. You can get angry at the enemy for forcing you to dive into mud or dirt or when his fire interrupts your meal. Eating is a major part of a soldier’s day, especially the evening meal, when maybe you have a chance to wash your face and hands before eating, at the least using canteen water to wash your hands. Interruption of the evening meal brings a special kind of anger, but it lasts only as long as the interruption.)
