Funny how history repeats itself, huh? The original version of this story was highly entertaining and appropriately time and-guess what-it still is, thanks to on Kim Jong-un.

The story by itself is pretty good I'll say, the internal drama and Ranma's unwillingness to take a life is well played, except for the fact that shooting a man in the leg could easily bleed him out to death as easily as anywhere else. The interactions between the characters isn't too shabby either, but with them being in the military, one would expect a little more discipline in their actions...
Now for the inconsistencies... This Ranma and co are written as though they went through most of what happened canonically, hence, super-sonic punches, speed and insane stamina for Ranma, and though mental fatigue might be something to watch out for, him getting tired after the final 100-metre run while carrying his companion just killed me. Then there's Ryoga, who takes the equivalent of a several LMG bursts to the face regularly in the form of Ranma's Roasting Chestnut Fist with the projectiles having several hundred time the mass (FistTiny-Bullet) while travelling at the same speed... basically they should both be bullet-proof... and mortar proof too, but heavy artillery and jet fighter missiles might be able to hurt em. But then again, they'd prolly wipe anything they faced on their asses if they were at even close to canonical levels, so there'd be absolutely no drama left, except maybe Ranma's unwillingness to kill.
All in all, if you look at it a little bit detached from the canon and as itself, it's a pretty good story.
And here I am wasting my bre- fingers as the original author is most likely dead already or has already forgotten about this...

Crappy story that's a waste of time. It has nothing to do with a Ranma fic. The characters involved could simply be a bunch of OC's in fic that happen to have the same names as Ranma characters. A bunch of generic war scenes with a hyped up North Korea. No ki, no martial arts and Ranma shows no more ability than any normal soldier. So, what's the point of calling him Ranma?

Amazing story and interesting concept!

A classic!

I remember when you wrote this way back when and I decided to reread it to see if it held up today. And it did. You are very good writer.

First off, thanks for serving our Country as a member of the US Navy! Second, I really enjoyed your fanfiction, "Ranma Goes To War". I remember reading that story years ago when you had it hosted on another site. I especially enjoyed the sequel as well as the side story you wrote. I do hope you write some more!

Good story, but the technical aspects were a bit rough; I think you could have gotten more out of it if you slowed down and tried to flesh out the character interactions and setting.

A great story. It's a little shorter than I usually like to read, but well done nonetheless.

Dude, luckily I read the reviews of this story first, otherwise I would have thought this story was really written by you and appropriate reviewed i. Upon hearing that you actually took this story off someone else, with no indication of acknowledging the previous writer, well, that would explain the immaturity of the review I received for my story More Than Meets The Eye.

Sigh, I thought I would respond to your silly review with a mature one for your stories. Unfortunately your stories are not really your stories so I'm sad to say I can't do so. You know what? I actually read the whole story, which is easily one of the best stories I've read for Ranma. It is good, extremely good, and opened my eyes on the North Korean situation. Not to mention an accurate portrayal of Ranma and crew in a war situation.

Like I said, a real pity this isn't yours.

For what it's worth, it's going to be in my Favourite Story List. Since you put it up to be preserved on Fan I may as well do that at least. But seriously, get a consent from the previous author.

Nothing else for me to say to you except you will be in my Sunday prayers. Take care and be happy. If you ever write something of your own, I would be honoured to read it.

Oh man what a great story. Been over to Iraq twice for only total of 200 days. Id'd do it again if it would help stop this shit. You could change the names and drop the one scene with chi and this could be one hell of a short story. This story had me by the 1/2 first chapter and would not let go. I can't wait to read your next. Keep this Active Airman entertained please. AND LAY OFF THE SHEEP AND GOATS! ;-)

I agree with James W, if you are going to post someone else's story 'to preserve it', you should at least post it in an easily readable format. As an author myself, I wouldn't mind if someone did this with my work after I disappeared (giving me proper credit, of course), but I'd be upset is they posted it in this format.

Suggestion: strip all the line breaks out except those at the end of the paragraph. Also, add dividers between the scenes to let the reader know the scene changed.

Wow... Just... Wow...

Over all, GREAT! story.

Hi. I remember this story from somewhere else. I enjoyed it then. Just wanted to give some advice.. First, if you haven't already, get the author's permission to post these. It's not required or anything, it's not like fanfiction is covered by copyright protection, but trying to get permission is polite. Second, you should place at the top of every story a very visible disclaimer stating you are not the author of this story, and any contact information you have so someone can tell the author how they feel about the story. Finally, if you're going to post it, see if you can change it so it's not in this narrow column all the way down. It's hard to read this way. (That is, if the column isn't just some weird thing going on on my computer.)
