Summary: It's 1992 and Jack is still waiting.

Jack’s lost count of the medals.

They come in different colors and shapes: Purple Heart, Silver Star, Victoria Cross. The citations have different words: valour, bravery, honour. Amazing how easy it is to be a hero when you know you can’t die.

Lately he’s started wondering if any of the carnage meant anything, especially since the same battles keep breaking out. He can hardly believe they’re fighting in Bosnia all over again.

Hunting aliens and going to war are just ways for Jack to kill time during the long wait.

The Doctor is the only man truly worth fighting for.
