2015-04-04 Because It Matters [Jason Schmetzer]

“It’s either him or me.”

It's a military truism that a soldier will fight the way he trains. If the training is hard, he will fight hard. If the training is soft, so will he be in combat. On Shoreham, when once lance of Davion MechWarrior cadets squares off against another, all of them will have to decide just how realistic their training will be. Will it be just another sim run? Or will it have real consequences?

Funny, his last story (the First Battle) was nearly identical to this. The ending was different, otherwise the plot was nigh on the same.
