Nicely done! And Twilight's well potrayed, given her brother's i the Royal Guard, she would know about how a soldier feels and such
Seems sharp has some PTSD. I hope nothing else triggers it.
This is progressing wonderfully and I can't wait to read more But also don't worry about getting chapters out quick just take your time.

Thank you, means a lot. ^^
Ok. Applejack. I forgive you
Party cannon and Sharp don't go together. Oh crap! Pinkie!
That is all any soldier asks for when returning from deployment.
Well, I'm glad to see another misunderstanding was avoided. I was immediately expecting to see him get jumped by AJ once she came home. The situation as you described it began to look far too off once Scoots and Sweetie went to wash up. I'm also happy to see that AJ decided to apologize, even if she doesn't agree with the war.
I'm also going to make a prediction... "I can bring my party canon!" - This isn't going to end well. I mean, good lord. I was HR and not infantry, and even I flinched at the sound of a car backfiring once I came back. I suspect Sharp's reaction is going to be far more drastic.

Yeah, I didn't want that whole "What did you do?!" "Wait AJ he helped me!" Stuff, it seemed a bit cheap, and I didn't want it to be that kind of story, like with the liar revealed you often see, or, bad boy only cares about himself and then at the end cares, makes a speech and all that.
Applejack is not an idiot, and I didn't want people to see her like that. She has feelings, she can be wrong, she can be confused. No one is flawless, and I felt like if I did the whole misunderstanding bit, it would undermine her growth and apology.
10287828
I agree on that, partner.
Why do I suddenly feel an overwhelming sense of dread?
Legit can't read his name and not think of Sean Bean still.
Another great chapter. Really excited to see Sharp open up more around his new home.
This part hit me hard because it makes you realize this is what they think and after all they've done and seen still they fight in hopes that they're making a better tomorrow. It takes a strong person to do that.
Sounds like Prance was playing the other side and used newspapers and other media to turn ponies against the war in Equestria. The Soldiers were just some acceptable casualties to get on the rebels good side, while leaving Equestria out of future deals.
This was a sweet chapter great character development I do have some questions mostly two dose he suffer from PTSD and how does he you the rifle every story has a different way I would love to know what this one uses
Hmm... do you taste it? Yes, it's the sweet sweet taste of character development!
where
knowing
[1] the standard is "..."
The whole concept is very interesting and you've executed the writing perfectly. The whole thing is very engaging and I have enjoyed reading this story. I am definitely looking forward to reading more about Sharp Shooter. Excellent work Dash.

Given that Sharp wasn't part of the Equestrian equivalent of a redleg, I'm guessing this isn't going to turn out well either. The only good thing I suppose would be that the reaction is probably going to fall more in line with fear or cowering and less with possibly hurting somepony.
I once made the mistake of sneaking up on a friend's dad (Nam vet) as a child of, oh 12 I think?
He was just in his backyard looking at something, a mower I think, and I snuck up behind him and startled him on purpose.
He jumped and swung like this knife hand around and hit me in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. He immediately knew that made a mistake and was mortified, apologizing. I too apologized because retro-actively i was like "oh yeah, that was really stupid of me".
So live and learn right?
But yeah poor Sharp will probably just crack and start yelling and maybe push some people down on the floor with him.
Oh, I'm sure that'll just go swimmingly.

I hope it blows up in her face.
awesome keep it up cant wait for the next chapter

It will depend on his level of trauma, I have seen show some Vets react to loud sounds and it can range in degree of simply ducking out of instinct to outright attacking the source of the sound.
On a side note, why haven’t the Sisters silenced the Papers and put a ban on imports of foreign papers and news agencies? They run a near total monarchy and what’s being published is not only hurting their ponies, but also hurting moral in general!
This chapter was great, showing him trying to adjust to a somewhat normal life, Granny revealing her past and even helping better Sharp's morning. Bloom being curious as ever probably isn't going to help down the road.
Yes AJ you messed up. Glad she apologized. Pinkie Party Cannon for a soldier just coming home is a big No No, please for the love Luna's Night, let it misfire.
Once again keep up the good work and can't wait for the next chapter.
Something tells me a war veteran with P.T.S.D and a party CANNON will only end in disaster.
Oh...
Oh god...
Oh god no...
Oh sweet merciful god... no...
I’m not the only one connecting dots here right?
Very nice chapter! However, I personally am not a fan of him at the beginning listing off his kit, I feel as if its a bit unnecessary and kind of useless, but overall I really liked this chapter!
oh

Interesting story so far. Added to my read list.
that's not a good idea
10290541
Oh god
I really like the story so far and look forward to reading more.
Anybody else see a problem with that for a Vet?
10354473
Big explosions? Na totally fine.
(Its a joke.)
I feel like I'm not allowed to imagine anymore because of just imagining Apple Jack sitting next to sharp, I imagined her leaning on him like they're a couple.
I don't ship them; at least not yet but it was hard to imagine them just sitting next to each other for some reason.
10435527
Well it is not lovely dovey, they're just having a talk, that's all.

Does that mean no paint ball???
Why is it cherry?! I said I didn't want a noticeable stain on my coat!
Party cannon...
Soldier back from war...
*rubs bridge of nose in frustration* Pinkieeeeeee...
Party cannon + returned soldier= disaster waiting to happen. Anyone else feel like some pony is gonna get hurt soon
Ah, much better. ¦3
Dangit Pinkie, and here I was thinking you were being considerate by not ambushing someone.
Party cannon...cannon...a large gun near a soldier with ptsd(?).
This will not end well.
No Pinkie, that's bad.
10287920
No but she can be a bad listener when she thinks she knows the best way or the whole story.
oh no

agreed
What do you mean they have no logistics for it?!?!?! They are the most peaceful princesdom in the world and probably the riches due to trade and civillian innovative technologies that make griffonian industrialist wet, so they should have the money to atleast buy the stuff they need from the taxes alone and not even straining the taxpayers.
