Two Sides of the Same Coin

[gifset by fyeahwintersoldier]

Inspired by a poem by avelera --

One was given a shield | One had his shield arm stolen

One was given a choice | One had choice taken from him

One was fragile, and they made him strong | One was strong, and they made him fragile

One slept in the ice, and returned to save lives | One was woken from ice, and sent to kill

One missed the war | One became the war

One was given a weapon | One was made a weapon

One became a symbol | One became a secret


["The Great Divide"
by daunt]

Soldiers may be presented as heroes
but are always trained killers.
