...Do you know that in every battle, the enemy is not always the person(s) you see in front of you? Sometimes, the person(s) standing behind you, pretending to have your back are the actual enemies...
Growing up as an Afghanistan Army, my victory in almost all the battles I've fought was not just about defeating the enemies in front of me but survival in the hands of those where behind me before getting the actual victory. I, Emily Dawson, was assigned a special duty to bring to book a powerful warlord, the leader of the Afghanistan terrorists and his group. This was a very dangerous mission that took many great soldiers to their early graves. Most of the soldiers died in an ambush on their mission to bring home the WANTED TERRORIST. This happened as Major Lazer, the Second in Command of Zone 4, was always been tipped-off to work as an informant.

This time, General Emily, an experienced, gallant and talented who knows all the technicalities of every hot war zone, who understood that victory is not just about defeating the enemy but ensuring first, the enemy within is defeated was assigned for the mission. Two days after her arrival, she interviewed and selected her squad for the mission leaving out Major Lazer. This is because she intelligently interviewed and discovered secretly that Major Lazer was the enemy within but she didn't want to expose him. Rather, she was bent on carrying out her special assignment at Zone 4 Command. However, Major Lazer's exclusion in the mission squad caused a lot of controversies in the unit. Hence Emily was not in there for any other reason but special duty, she decided to include him in the mission squad for peace to reign.

However, General Emily in her first attempt into the camp of their enemies, her team was ambushed on their way. This ambush was orchrested due to the information he gave to the terrorists. This pissed-off the General and she gallantly approached Major Lazer and said to him, "Major Lazer, there's someone within our camp that is feeding the terrorists with information on all our moves and decisions. You've been into this war zone for over four years now and should know that enemy within." Mr Lazer denied knowledge of everything and pretentiously confirmed, "yes, there's an enemy within but I don't know who; I believe someone has been watching us from the behind." Seeing this pretence on his face, she left him with cold word, "War does not create enemies; it rather reveals the traitors hidings in plain sight," and she left.

That night, General Emily did not sleep. She was putting calls across all authorities to ensure that Major Lazer was transferred. This effort came to reality the following morning as he was transferred to a zone, very far from his former place of work. At this point, the terrorists lost their informat. She finally planned and carried a successful operation. The terrorists were all brought to book where they all confessed with verified evidences that Major Lazer was the reason for the unsuccessful operations. Despite his transfer to another unit, he was recalled and dismissed from work for been a mayhem to security and Army at large.

The Afghanistans from this moment till date have enjoyed relative peace hence the enemy within was book. This finally justifies General Emily's proposition that: "Victory in war is not just about defeating the enemy in front of you; it’s about surviving the betrayals behind you."

Great story friend. I like it.

I will say the government need to step in to help the Afghanistans because it is not always easy

This is my first time reading an Afghanistan story here and it was great

The plot is nice. But I think it could be even more amazing if it was slowed down a bit. It was too much fast-paced.
