It wouldn't do well for the GAR to have the troops starting to doubt their leaders.

That's the genius of Order 66, the clones were probably already doubting their Jedi generals at that point.

Entry 7

We finally got off that Force forsaken planet (can I use that word even though I'm not a jedi?). We've been regrouped, which happens all the time because we've become cannon fodder.

Currently we are in the hands of some pretty good generals. General Kenobi seems to know what is going on and he has taken time to get to know those who are closest to him. Commander Cody tends to have his ear most of the time. That's good because Cody will make sure there are things we get that other times we don't.

On this tour, we've actually had cots to sleep on. It's unusual on ships for us to have many places to sleep besides slumped in a corner. We "hot-bunk" alot. So no matter what, the bed has been slept in before you. It doesn't bother me. As long as there is a cot where I can rest my head after a long battle, I don't care which of my brothers has been in it before me.

Also the chow, which is super important, is pretty good. Most the time we are living on ration cubes. They really are the worst. They carry all the nutrients our bodies need, but they taste like what I imagine a Kaminoans backside would taste like if you gave it a lick.

So we are "living" pretty well right now. If this is what you call really living.

It's so good they have Obi. He was a good general. He saw the clones as people.

I believe he and Anakin were truly tuned into the clones as people. Thanks for reading!

So he's ended up with Anakin and Obi_wan. Could have been a lot worse, and they take good care of their boys.
Good luck in staying with them.

Very good story. Possibly the best exploration of the clones as people I've seen so far.

I have read many stories about clones that emphasize what the clones do in their roles as soldiers rather than what they think in their roles as people, essentially portraying the clones through only superficial aspects. Fortunately, this is not one of them.

Keep writing...

Thank you for the kind words. I tried to really go a different direction with my clone. Thinking as the person I am and what it would mean to them.

Keep reading!

A clone's life is never permanent. You'll have to see.

Great job so far! But I cannot help but ask, what happened to all the missing droids?

I just used it as an analogy for the wild goose chase which is this war. So, we may never find out.
