Well, it’s certainly well written. I’m excited to see more.
Hmm, interesting. I haven't seen a soldier type fic that caught my eye in quite a while. What the heck, I'll give it a try.

I'm glad you did. ^^
I always like stories like this. They always hit a nice sweet spot for me. I'm going to watch it with great interest! As a token of that interest, here's a small bit of feedback.
The sentence runs on a little, this reads a little better to me - what do you think? I'd break it up and replace that adverb with an adjective. (Given we're describing a pony right now, something that describes a noun seems more apt.)
The second they mention that enlistment flyer this song popped in my head

This very interesting, haven't seen a pony soldier kinda fic in a long while tho going by description the ponies are against trying to keep peace and helping their allie nation? That I don't like but let's see how this goes
"You won't regret it, I promise!" I just imagine hearing that echoing in a flashback once Sharp gets back home.
This had my interest now it has my attention lets read on.

In narrator voice As it turns out, he would very much regret it.
This seems less like an adventure and more like a life choice.
Certainly not a thing to do on a lark... poor bastard.

Lest We Forget
Honestly, I could never get angry at soldiers, only pity. Vietnam, Cambodia, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq, you vets out there were sent by your country because you were duty bound. To be scorned at when you returned is cruel, unjust and unfair.
Shout out to the vets out there; I may not have been raised in a family who served the military but you have my deepest respect.
Its a sad day when a good man gose to war its even worse when he comes home and is called a monster while the rest of his kinsmen stayed safe in their beds.
This might sound weird/naive of me to say, but I never understood why soldiers were shunned after coming home from war. Sure they killed people. People that might have had families. Sons and fathers that are never coming home. But there is an obvious difference between someone fighting and killing to protect and survive, from someone who kills for pleasure or because of a mental desease.
It suprises me how hollow people can be, during the first and second world war, it was an honor and duty for men to go and fight for their country. But then came Vietnam and they're treated as monsters? Was it because they technically weren't fighting for their own country? Was it because no one really knew what was going one?
I don't want to say anything to offend anyone, but I imagine that the one thing a soldier wants when they get home, is to be reunited with their family and friends. Not be treated by their neighbors as if they're some rabid animal.
no one loves the soldier 'till the enemy is at the gate.
I feel for sharp, I thought about joining in HS but had medical issues at the time that made them say nope. On top of that, I am a dreamer/dabbler myself so yeah, as of yet no AMAZING world changing shenanigans for me to crow about just a little art, a few attempts at stories, some tasty food, basic everyday joe stuff.
Prose so far is decent.
