Summary: A small thought from a Clonetrooper.
Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to LucasFilm. Based on Matika's Toy Soldiers.
We were designed for combat. Yes, that is our primary function.
Think for ourselves? Negative.
Taking orders all the time.
Marching drills ordered into our brains.
Left right left.
Left right left.
Turn.
Weapons up.
Target in site? Affirmative!
We march in an army – left right left.
We walk into battles, weapons cocked and faces forward.
We shoot and we watch the droids fall apart.
We watch our comrades fall. And if we ever have the time; we stop and take off their helmets.
We look into the eyes of the fallen soldier.
And the scariest moment is when we see our own faces.
