hate to burst some of your bubbles, but if he does come back alive he might not be the same person.he might not even come back to NG for all we know.war is a very terrifying thing to see, and if he even kills one person, that can rid him with guilt and such for the rest of his life.PTSD and other side affects may accompany him as well.i am hoping he will come back, but personally just knowing war i think he wont be the same when or if he does...
but best of health to him.
