I quit
Tyler told her that this second tour didn’t feel the same as anything else he’s done in the military before then. He didn’t want to go back and fight and said that he had enough of the military. He was choosing to walk away from being a soldier and finding a different line of work.
At first, Mandi didn’t know what to say. She was in shock that Tyler chose to quit being a soldier all by himself. She didn’t want to force him to quit anything, but this was his idea, and his alone. She was happy to hear that, but the next thing he told her really changed her world.
