What do I put in a story that's about World War III?

Question

I'm currently typing a story about a futuristic World War III seen from the eyes of a British SAS soldier. What do I put in it? I'm running out of ideas. If you would like to read what I have so far go to www.freewebs.com/brigadiergeneralbui
There you'll see a WWIII section. Here's an excerpt:
September 8, 2087
The Chinese battlion started their attack while I was writing in my journal. That's why the last entry was cut short. The attack started with a typical mortar barrage which eventually truned into a storm. About half an hour later, the cybers, tanks, and foot troops started charging towards our position, swarming us like flies around a dead cow. We immediately grabbed our rifles and machine guns and started to pump them full of lead. The slaughter was terrible and gruesome. It looked like they were coming out of no where, popping out of the grounds like daisies in spring. The constant stream of bellowing troops and banzai attacks was a seemingly endless ocean.

Answer 1

I was suprized to see lead still being used in 2087.
"no where" should be oneword.
"About half an hour later"...Would someone fighting for their life notice such a time packet?
"...was a seemingly endless ocean." How about just an ocean?
Stop basing your years on the Christian birth-year - a third WW has erupted: just state that this is in the "11th newyear" or so.

A decent writing. Sorry you posted it here; now the excerpt is the ownership of Yahoo. (see Terms of Service)
Meaning, your copyright is now theirs.

And if you want a few more ideas, you'd have to email me.


And if you want ppl to see your other web page you'll have to break the name in half or something, as YA doesn't like long URLs "www.freewebs.com/brigadiergeneralalbui" is all I could get.
*AS YOU WERE*

Answer 2

You've got an OK start but maybe you should put in something about air attacks from either planes or space based weapons. Also add something about artillery and attack helicopters and give all of these equipment names like Yangtze robot, or british bulldog grenades?. Also communication and advanced body armour would be good as these things developing today. Or do what you like any story about fiction you are author off is yours to write.

Answer 3

This is from Battlefield2142
Oh well
As the EUE (eueuropeian union elites) were storming againt the SAS while the battlewakers took place. Medics stormed from each teams to revive each players while snipers waited for enemies and support to shoot down. Engineers used they rocket launchers as the battlewalkers exploded. One hybrid hover copter landed with troops... and yeh you do it your self.

Answer 4

Why lead? Why not the modern technology of neural disruptors and laser pulses?
