[whats-in-a-sentence]

In western Arabia, Mecca and Medina (Figure 7.6) fought through the 620s over trade routes, their war bands fanning out across the desert to find allies and ambush each other's caravans.

**i tried to tag/link everything, if anything is broken or unsourced please let me know and i will endeavour to fix it! standard disclaimer that a) any discussion about war media based on real life people is based upon the fictional portrayals of those people and not the actual dudes. and b) this powerpoint was made for fun, it is not rigorous academic analysis. all opinions expressed are my own. please do not take it too seriously! that's all <3

EUGENE G. "DOC" ROE // Born October 17, 1922

Without (Doc Roe), we wouldn't be alive. Roe was the best medic we ever had. He was born to be a medic. You could always depend on him. You hollered, "Medic!" and he was right there, come hell or high water. He knew what he was doing. He was compassionate, took care of you mentally, physically, every way. - Bill Guarnere in Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends

Out my fuckin’ mind Goin’ for your throats like I’m a rabid canine I don’t fuck with many, I don’t like to play nice Call me Sub-Zero how I leave ‘em all on ice Lethal with the rifle 40/40 shoot precise Always feel like I’m the black sheep But don’t count me out 'cause I swear to god I’ll be the next thing You pussies always tryna jack the wave that’s popping Gotta stay one step ahead that’s why I’m re-inventing
