cannon fodder.
The poor extra figures that were bystanders.
The guys that drew the fire from the Joes.
The ones that got the marker.
Yes, I was a sick little bastard! Judge if you want, but YOUR reading this and remembering where the bodies you buried are!!
BUT................. there had to be carnage and a red marker was a good simulation. These are the ones I kept. A reminder of the poor "other" figures that took the bullets so the glory boys could save the world.
