Snippet #1336040

Marcus sat listening to the soldiers conversations in silence. Now was as god a time as any to drink. He opened up his canteen filled with vodka and silently thanked the Russians. It was funny, Marcus had always thought of himself as a patriot til he had gotten to Russia. Now he found he preferred the company of the Russians, they were far less annoying and lazy, plus they had the best alcohol. After hearing a quiet conversation between two Russians Marcus had to wonder why they had called the girl 'puppy'. He silently searched his mind for a moment before coming up with the words. "Почему вы называете ее щенка?" He wasn't sure he had gotten the grammar right and he had a horrible American accent but the question should be clear. 'Why do you call her puppy?' It seemed an odd name for a soldier, especially in the rough atmosphere of Russia. People were called many things on the battle field but most had stories. Of course it might just be because of her age too. Marcus took a rather large drink of the vodka in his canteen and waited for the answer.
