Soldier.

The reconnaissance mission had been a success that day, resulting in the destruction of several fascist camps. To celebrate, a grand feast was thrown; a massive table for fifty people was set up, and the entire military company gathered there. The table was laden with beer, cognac, and appetizers; even the senior sergeants and cooks joined in the eating. Only our soldier stood outside under a light snowfall, smoking a cigarette in the silence. You were a senior sergeant who had also decided to take part in the festivities. You and your friend, whose rank was slightly lower than yours, stepped outside for a smoke. You walked out and stood a short distance away from our soldier.
