#769: War explain

[Beret Guy with a green helmet on is sitting on the ground behind a low wall, leaning against his pack and writing a letter.]
My Dearest Cordelia,
it has been far too long since I last gazed
upon your lithe and supple body through my
telescopic sights, and I fear you may have
found a superior vantage poin—
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
—a splendid effort, my love, but your shots
find only a decoy, and reveal your position atop
the maintenance shed.
I pray this missive and my grenades find you well.
War is hell.
