“My mother shaved my head ahead of my vaccinations. She thought the buzz of the clippers concealed her almost silent sobs, and I let her believe it did. I am poor, unmarried. I didn't high school, just screwed around in the countryside for a few years working where I could, chasing girls. This means that I am expendable, a "zero soldier". Zero education, zero special skills, zero responsibilities outside of my country.”
