I enjoyed this story very much, as I love Winters-Nix friendship, and the scene in which Nixon is knocked silly by a shot through his helmet is one of the best in the miniseries. While I think your idea to show that scene from each man's POV is a good one, and in general I believe your story is very well-written, there is a bit of room for improvement. A few words were misspelled; you used the word "breath" when you clearly meant "breathe," for example. When a story is this brief, it is generally a good idea to proofread it yourself; a spell-check won't detect a mistake in context if the word itself is spelled correctly. You should also insert the occasional comma as needed. For example, your original sentence: "This was war he expected it," should have a comma between the words "war" and "he." There are a few other punctuation errors, and that is why it is important to have a good beta reader, if you can get one. Also, the shift from Nixon's POV to that of Winters was so abrupt and without warning that it was a little awkward. Now, having said all that critical stuff, let me congratulate you on writing a jewel of a short story. It just needs a little more polishing to make it perfect. I loved your portrayal of the emotions of these two men, and the way you indicated the depth of their friendship. Thank you for writing and posting this. Sincerely, Darkover

What could I say? You've done it again... perfectly.
I wanted to chose my favourite part (line) from it, and I couldn't. It's perfect from the first word to the last. This is even about one of my favourite moments from the movie.
So what could I say? Maybe... Just Thank You!
So: Thank You!
