Even if you start out like Chris or Elias, and enough darkness surrounds us, Barnes is more than willing to work through us. Great question, Chaplain.Response by SFC Mark Merino made Apr 19 at 2015 2:44 AM2015-04-19T02:44:09-04:002015-04-19T02:44:09-04:001LT William Clardy605833<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Definitely not Chris -- he seemed like he was just along as an observer, watching but not making a difference.<br /><br />I actually tended to empathize more with Barnes than Elias, despite the fact that Barnes' character was written to be unforgivable.Response by 1LT William Clardy made Apr 21 at 2015 12:15 AM2015-04-21T00:15:08-04:002015-04-21T00:15:08-04:00SGT John Panzini610771<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Definitely more like Barnes....Response by SGT John Panzini made Apr 22 at 2015 8:34 PM2015-04-22T20:34:18-04:002015-04-22T20:34:18-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member5520444<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>"Elias is a water walker!"
