Quote by Oren Shafir

“First, you find out that you can lie straight faced to get out of some forced march or run or something. Then, you find out that you can steal, as long as it's not from your own platoon. Finally, you end up like Jinji, wearing dead man's boots and not thinking too much about it." Dead Man's Boots”
