Anything stated here is no longer valid to the overall lore. However, I will leave this story up as a monument to my first attempt at writing.
A human military government, known as the DAF, wages war against the infamous nation of Equestria. The DAF uses advanced technology to gain the upper hand in the historic struggle, while Equestria can only muster a fraction of what humanity has.
Mathew, a squad leader of twenty men in the DAF, has the ultimate responsibility of keeping every one of his men alive, while trying to complete the ultimate task of helping the DAF win the war.
While Scootaloo, a member of an eight-pony squad in the Equestrian Royal Army, must do everything she can to stay alive, keep her friends close, and defend her homeland from the human invasion.
How will both soldiers do what they can to survive, while fighting for what they believe in? How will they handle the gruesome and horrifying scenes of war, and maintain their sanity?
How will they affect the outcome of the "BLITZ"?
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."
George S. Patton

I like this so far I want to see more. Just wondering how long do you plan on making this story?
6530929 i plan on working on it for a while
I love it I love it I love it!!!
6531514 Thanks!
A few critics
1- You don't call a Sergeant sir you call him Sergeant unless he's a 1st Sergeant or a Sergeant Major you only call officers sir.
2-Usually field grade officers debrief you you just tell them what happend but good story nonetheless
6534139 I know that, but this is a military that runs on a different set of rules, similar to the US, but thanks for the advice! It helps!
So why is this all happening? All we know is that the humans were attacked first
You killed off Applejack. You bastard.
I'm sad now.
I require an explanation on this whole "war" predicament.
6571549
I'll explain that in a later chapter.
6571795 BE PATIENT
Great job, Amazing story but...WHY DID YOU KILL APPLE JACK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
6571564 take comfort that she will be avenged in some way.
So ponies over reacted? Why would they just attack like that?
Why would they kill an ambassador? What about the zebra? Why did they attack? Then what made celestia think that it was a good idea to kill the ambassador? Also will we see the other side of this soon? I want to see what made them think this was a good idea.
6602322 This story will focus on the Human side of this war, but the ponies side of the war will be told in another story.
As for the reasoning over the ambassador killings, you'll just have to wait and see...
Chapter felt a little short to be honest. I feel like if the explanations had been involved with the pony prisoner in some way this chapter would have flowed a little better.
I'm calling it now. Changlings.
6612861 if its changelings then shouldn't their diguises dissapear when they die or something?
6627328 Hmm... Good point.
I don't have Star Wars battlefront. I have Team Fortress 2. By the way, good chapter.
TOG?! READY THE HARPOONS!!!
Ponies dying? Just another day in my life... Heh...
6573692 So he could effectively get rid of the the Elements from his Story so people won't complain why they aren't being used.
Is there any backstory to this story? Like how Humanity ended up in the land of talking ponies and what the DAF stands for?
6700508 Yes, yes there is.
Actually, on the contrary, the conversations are quite interesting. The pony's side of the story is a welcome perspective, but I hope you don't think we find the human's side of the story, when it comes to conversations at least, as boring in the long term. I actually find it rather interesting.
Loving the story so far by the way, hope to see more soon.
6727338 thanks!
What does DAF stand for?
So now we're getting the story from the ponies pov?
Awesome! Great job on your first story! MOAR pls!
6737715 it'll happen periodically after this.
great story so far
Awesome can't wait for the next chapter

I also play tf2!
I like this story. I can't wait for more!
This is getting interesting.
Love the story, but didn't like killing off Applejack and Applebloom. Would prefer them being prisoners.
6904034 or:
Dope
Ass
Forces
6968120 That might be the alternative.
Not many people play airsoft, honestly it's a great sport.
I like the story, but it better not be one of those annoying Murica Fuck Yeah fics. They all seem to be English descent. Any chance there will be soldiers from other countries?
7019680 Not at this point, and don't worry, it isn't going to be one of those fan fictions.
Could you please tell me how the Ponies got Human Military Tech? I know that they killed a Convoy and badly damaged another one but it doesn't explain how they were able to get all this Tech so easily. Also, why are they so aggressive.
7038266 The Equestrians had received the tech from the Zebras, not the humans. I thought I had explained that earlier on in the story, I guess I didn't.
7039064 You probably did but i just missed it, anyways good job with this Story and hope to see more!
7041703 Thanks!
Really love the story so far, hope you don't decide to abruptly abandon the story.
