Richard Winters x OC

"How could something so pure, be tainted by blood?"

“Alright, don’t get hurt.”

Okay, there is a pattern that has been annoying me about a lot of fanfictions lately, and I'd like to get it out.

When the OC sees their SO with their (SO's) ex, they have the right to be mad if the SO hasn't told them about the meeting. And it usually ends up with the SO apologizing.

But when the OC sees their ex and doesn't tell their SO, who later finds out, it's supposed to be okay. But if the SO brings it up, the OC has the right to get mad because they are not trusted etc. And again the SO has to apologize.

I just find this cycle of the OC never having to apologize, very toxic because they don't have to understand their SO, but their SO has to always be a Saint and put them first.

So please, do not write narcissistic OC's and if you end up putting them into these scenes, address the fact that they are not 100% perfect with the way they act.

From a personal standpoint, I would have been devastated had Nixon been killed. As a leader you do not stop and calculate your losses during combat. You cannot stop a fight and ask yourself how many casualties you have sustained. You calculate losses only when the fight is over. Ever since the second week of the invasion, casualties had been my greatest concern. Victory could be eventually ours, but the casualties that had to be paid were the price that hurt. In that regard Nixon seemed a special case.
