On the next day, we woke up to the voice of the officers in charge shouts, we gathered around in the camp's main field.
we were in our complete equipment and he was too, but he didn't wear a helmet, just a cap, and sunglasses.
He said:-
- General Saleem:- I can't say good morning, because there isn't any good in this morning.
his tone was a mixture of sadness, guilt, submission, and hatred.
I knew this wasn't going to be good.
He followed:-
- General Saleem:- I've been ordered from up high to start an assault by infinitary force of 300 soldiers to attack the enemy's fort at B7R, they wanted only infinitary so that we can surprise the enemy by sneaking there and initiate the assault from the closest possible point, anyone has any question?
The B7R fort is on Satan's side of the border, and it's a strategic point, it's boarded Satan with two countries, our country Ustio, and a small peaceful country called Raval.
The fort was so heavily equipped, that there were about 33 tanks, 54 points of machine guns, an anti-air targets AA system, and ETA of the air support is 6 minutes, so attacking such a camp with only infinitary is basically throwing these soldiers to a Holocaust, but there is more to the story.
When such an order is initiated, means there is a light weapon deal has been rejected because the inventories have got enough weapons, so we need to get rid of some weapons and cover the purchase of the new shipment of the weapons, so we get rid of 300 men and their equipment from this camp, and 300 from another camp, and 500 from another camp, and that's how we invoke that lack of the weapons and equipment, so eventually some officers can finally get their commission.
Almost everyone knew this pattern, except of course the government officials, the judges, and the prosecutor.
I couldn't just keep watching 300 of my colleagues, and a couple of thousands being ordered to dig their own graves just because someone wants to get the most expensive gift for his mistress!
after a few moments of silence, I raised my hand, he allowed, I said:-
Naser:- Sir, the risk to reward is NOT good in this operation
General Saleem:- Naser, wait for me in my office, please.
I knew why did he say that because he was so confused about this thing, he couldn't order it in a cold blood, nor he could disobey it.
he almost knew if there was any kind of discussion, he will lose it in a second, so he was trying to avoid all that.
I went to his office, and after a few moments he followed, he entered, took his seat, and said:-
- General Saleem:- This kind of order for the honest and decent officers is like death, we all believe and knew we will experience it someday, but NOT today, that's exactly how it is for me, I will order a couple of hundreds of my soldiers to kill themselves someday, but NOT today.
he nodded his head, his facial features were heartbreaking, I felt so bad for him.
He followed and almost cried:-
- Genera Saleem:- today is my day to kill my soldiers.
I answered what I was thinking all the time I waited for him:-
- Nasser:- Sir, there might be a way to execute the order and NOT kill our fellas.
To be continued ...
