battle blood both call fight known leave man relationship since soldiers time together understood
Glen and I live together and we have known each other since we were small, 13 years old. And we just have a relationship like we're blood brothers. We battle for each other and we call each other soldiers - they never leave a man behind. Glen just told me it was time to go to war. We both understood it was time to fight and when he fights, I fight.
