the soldiers have began to see battle and they realize that its not as glorious as they had hoped. the d-boys have been trained to think on there own and that the mission is what is the most important thing and the rangers are trained to work as a team and that surviving is the most important thing. the rangers look up to the d-boys much like a little boy would look up to his brother of father. the first casualty is a d-boy. when the d-boy died the rangers basically decided that they were screwed they lost all hope they thought that if a seasoned veteran who had seen combat before was the first to die then they had no chance of survival.
