Make a Move!
You need to make a decision now, we can't continue folding our arms, you need to start something, or just give us a command please. If you insist on not going to decide now we are all going to perish here, please make a move!
Every word from every sergeant keep coming out to the Captain, but what type of decision he has to make? and how is the decision going to affect them.
I once heard from someone that every war starts from the heart,
Body
Captain Fred was an honourable man, strong will, full of integrity, has passion about his country, full of confidence, he is an exceptional sergeant before his superior. Living his life well, his family also around him.
Captain Fred has a team he captain as a military man, his team are confidence about him, and they also follow his lead because of how vast he is. Captain Fred love for the team and country made the team mate believe that they have found a family with him. He is good at hunting, games and making right decisions, these made him gain respect from colleagues and juniors officers at the military camp. He is also a very handsome man, looking at the qualities he exhibit, he is a complete gentleman and a husband material.
Captain Fred fell in love with a young damsel from his home town. Their love was nothing of Romeo and Juliet because they simply meant to be together. Their love story was known throughout the whole town and every young man and woman pray for such relationship. Without wasting much time they tie the knot and became husband and wife but unfortunately for them, their has been a crisis and his team is needed to go to the border in order to fight against any act of terrorism.
Their honeymoon was caught short due to the emergency at the border. The departure was an emotional one for the families of the team, everyone crying hugging their beloved brothers, husbands, sons and friends, it was very emotional but what can they do? Duty calls!
The team took their leave and it was a smooth journey for them and when they got to the border they were brief about their mission, but their mission was going to take a turn for the worse. They were sent ahead of calvory, who does that at war.
They took their leave and set out in the woods, moving towards the enemy zone, they decided to set their camp at it was night fall. Gathered everything they needed and set up their camp. They all came out to have good times together before their journey the following morning, making vows to keep each other safe. They all concluded with a sweet song,
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
The song makes them weep, with each other, then the captain set in and says the following words;
How I'm I to lead without a direction?
How I'm I to give without having?
We have been sent out here to represent our families, wives, children, friends and most importantly country, My word to you this day is to keep fighting until you cannot fight anymore!
The captain was done talking and everyone summoned the courage to sleep. The following morning they set out to fight but one of the team member was missing and when the call out to him, he responded from the bush where he went to ease himself and they continue their journey.
But as the move towards the enemy zone, they discovered that the enemies was not surprised to see them and started to attack them. Then it dawn on the captain that they have been betrayed by one of them claiming to go ease himself in the bush.
The team members starting shouting to the captain to give them instruction on what to do but it was too late to decide but the only thing the captain could think of was the song amazing grace, and the captain altered the following words to the teammates that Amazing grace is enough for them, then they held each others hand as they sing the song
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
They were all shot to death, just because of a betrayer amidst them. Their bodies were sent home to their families, with weeping and sorrow, they were buried.
They captain knew about the betrayer but did not make a move to stop it, as smart as he was, he never thought he could be betray in his circle of soldier.
My message this day is saying to you don't wait till the betrayer gets at you, make a move! And never regret it.
My salute to all soldiers who has lost their lives in battle and to ones in battle. God be with you and your family.
