Following the White Rabbit: Tail ended War!

The scene was almost straight out of the most realistic war movie that I have seen, Saving Private Ryan, when Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) barely able to stand up, picks up his red coloured sea water filled helmet and slowly moves to a steel barricade and there suddenly the sounds in the scene dies down and what you can see is Tom Hanks rolling his view around the beach. There is a rain of bullets, bombs exploding and men screaming but he can’t hear a thing and then slowly the sounds come back where his team is asking him for the next command… (here is a feel of the scene)

I was in such a place, I couldn’t hear a thing, my hearing was numb in fear as I grasped the scene, my eyes rolled around looking at all the 4 fierce commanders who were standing in front of me, they were alone, frightened, focused, I could see the fierceness in their eyes. They were sure, they were ready, and their weapons were locked tight in their hands, armed and ready to kill.

My eyes glanced on them individually, the first commander was fearless, did not look like needed a sophisticated weapon to destroy but a blow would kill tens of them at once and maybe a stomp of the leg would raze an entire battalion. The second commander was the strategist, you could see the mind making a million scenarios of how the enemy might show up and how every designated path could be blocked and barricaded. The aim was to wait, corner and destroy. A brief moment I stared straight into the eye of the 2^nd commander and I could hear the breathing, sound of a 100 tonne steam engine.

The third commander’s war cry itself could vanquish an entire army, and this commander happened to be the commander of all the others, the armed forced and the civilians (like me), who was giving precise information of the enemy’s movements for the others to do their part. The 4^th was the analyst, was overlooking the entire mission, was right behind all 3 of them, was the most experienced of them all and hence had the skills of all ready to unleash even if one fails.

The entire armed forces were in front of me and I was this citizen dragged into war. I couldn’t bare to see the holocaust that was about to happen. Also, selfishly didn’t want the energy and the power of such commanders to be used in a simple mission as this, a “seek and destroy”. The enemy was anyway cornered and only had to be lured for the final kill, I called in the SWAT and asked for one specific commando who was anyway a specialist in S&D missions. He came, he saw, he cornered, he hit, mission accomplished! The tail end of the enemy was in the hands of the commando.
