Brothers in Arms

Right, for those who assumed the title would narrow entries to a wartime situation, rest assured that that isn’t the case. I just felt that the army theme suited my purposes for what I’m looking for in regards to the story contents.

What I’m looking for are stories about really great friend who would do anything for each other (You can probably see why the army reference was useful.) I’m talking more than just a normal friendship; instead one where both they’d pass through hell and back for each other.

RULES
