call of duty

             In the article Call of Duty there is a soldier and his dog they were in Afghanistan. Marine Corporal Jose Armenta and his dog Zenit both were on duty searching for IED's after looking all day for them Zenit finally found an IED and Marine Corporal Armenta said in a low voice "Yes" to keep Zenit calm. Then as the time passed they would train at night to make Zenit stronger and making sure that he is getting the help he needs to be well trained in staying calm when finding IED or when trouble comes they're way. In 2011 While walking Marine Corporal Jose Armenta accidentally stepped on a IED causing an explosion that made Marine Corporal Jose be blasted 20ft away and right beside him was Zenit staying with him while he was being cared for. A helicopter came and flew them away to a hospital. He then awoke finding that both his legs were amputated. He then was release and sent home to his wife and family. Later after recovering he Marine Corporal requested that Zenit be retired and returned to him. After a year they finally reunited and Marine Corporal Jose finally got to keep Zenit and they both retired.

     My thoughts on this article was that this article was a very sad one knowing that Marine Corporal Jose Armenta was badly injured and him having to retire at such a young age and him having to lose his legs and not being able to walk and do things normally.  The good thing about this article that there is still happiness and greatness in this article. Marine Corporal Jose Armenta was given prosthetic legs and he was able to walk tall and proud for his Country. He later was joined with his Marine Partner Zenit his dog. My conflict was that I did not like that Marine Corporal Jose Armenta has to wait to be joined with Zenit for a whole entire year.
