… They say that we are created for the purpose of war, and it's true, that's why we were created.
They say that we blindly follow orders without hesitation. It's also true, this is in our genes to
follow orders and to die by the order of our commander. It's true, that we don't have a face,
because even without our helmets our faces don't give us something unique, or any identity. All
religions say that we don't have souls. That is probably too, because I don't know, and they
should know better. Therefore no one cares if we are dead or not. I doesn't matter how many of
us will die, these deaths will just be left on the paper, and our place will be immediately taken by
others just like us. They say that our life span is 30 years. It is also true, but usually we don't live
that long. They say that we don't have any feelings, and it's almost true, because we have some
feelings that help in battle. There are rumors that we are mindless, but that is not true, because
we think, and think about many things, and it is accepted, as long as it doesn't influence at our
combat. We keep all our thoughts to ourselves, because no one is interested in them. We don't
show any pity, or mercy, because our enemies will never show any to us. We don't hate when we
kill, because it is our job to kill, and there is nothing personal. We are trained from our childhood
to fight, and we go to battle at the age of ten. Of course, by that time we look like in the age of
23. So we can say that we don't have any childhood. We are not considered living beings, just
some tools made for killing. We don't know what toys are, for they are useless in combat, we
don't have any leisure time, for it is not required. We have no private property, and the only right
we have – the right to die, but only when there is no option, besides surrendering. And we can't
surrender. We don't have the right to surrender. When we all were created, the ones who were
not capable to give the expected results at the tests were destroyed. For perfection all "failings"
were destroyed. And, once again, no one cared, for no one cares when a spoiled toothbrush or
something else is destroyed, and we are considered "things". We are the shield of the Republic,
but in reality we are just pawns in someone's game to distract the Jedi order from the real things.
And, as pawns, we fight other pawns, which are controlled by the same man who controls us.
You ask me, what is my name? I don't think that you want to know my designation number, for I
don't have a name. None of us has... We are called the clone troopers.
We are the property of the Grand Republic.

Well, what do you think? Desperate for reviews.
