As long as I've been reading short stories in this community, this is the first time I've read short stories with the war drama genre. I really like stories like this, so lightest war movies on television. Keep on writing, my friend.
Your story shares the travesty of war and the moral challenge soldiers and mercenaries face. In the end he makes the right choice, and will probably pay the ultimate price for doing so. Note that sometimes your main character's name is "Couch" and sometimes "Crouch." Something you might want to correct.
Thank you for steering clear of graphic violence in this story, and for reading and commenting on the work of other writers in the community.
And this is exactly why I never want to be in the military. My son joined a few years ago and it just about shortened my life span! Fortunately, he ended up getting Covid, then and injury, and was discharged before he ended up having to be deployed. It's a duty than can indeed destroy one's humanity.

It's not easy to write about war because violent scenes can come up but it's good to see some people can still find their way around it. It was excellent, from the writing to the plot, nice one
