I made a petition to AFS Command to recognize every soldier's accomplishments. As a Spy, my training is only on sneaking past the enemy and killing them. The problem is that how many Bane you've killed is a status symbol for the soldiers. A Spy with 10,000 kills is regarded as having more combat experience than a Medic with 500 kills, even if that Medic has healed thousands of soldiers in the field.

As a Spy, I see this as wrong. If every AFS soldier had stealth armor and a blade, we would not win this war. Without medics, even small injuries could be fatal. Without engineers, we would not be able to hold a single outpost against attack. Without Commandos, the Bane would overpower us everywhere. I know Snipers have saved my life many times. The point is, we all have our part to play, and that's the area we should be rewarded in. Sure I was wounded, and when the medic healed me at the hospital I went out and killed 1,000 more Bane. The medic gets credit for those kills just as much as I do.

So be gracious all of you, and do well in your part of the war. Hopefully AFS Command will read my petition and start rewarding soldiers for more than kills. Until then, know that at least one Spy admits he needs you more than you need him. And please don't let me die :D
