The afternoon sun was hot and dry, but that wasn’t what was bothering him. Max Forester, “loyal” citizen and soldier, had much on his mind, currently free from his therapy armband. One of few in the country exempt for wearing one, as least while he was here, a remote training compound. “God, I hope the General knows what the hell he’s doing!” he mumbled.
Looking around for a hill over the camp, to the left was the firing range and live-fire course. Just above them was the urban combat section, fake city and all. An explosion goes off in the city. “Well, they didn’t get the bank again but they are getting better” he said out loud to no one.
He looked to the center of the compound, out side the barrack were hundreds of people marching, drilling and exercising. A group of doctors and medics were leaving the mess hall head back to the biological/chemical weapons center. A shiver when up his spine and he thought to himself, if we go thought with this we’ll never survive.
He slapped his forehead to clear his mind, he mustn’t think such things. He mustn’t think. He kept thinking that over and over again, and looked forward to putting his armband back on once his was done here.
“Commander Forester, how is the training going.” asked a visiting minister.
“Great, just great. Tell the General that we’ll whip our comrade in to shape in no time” he replied, hope he sounded convincing.
“Good. The General is really excited about this project and wants to see some action soon. Their not going to know what hit them, damn the General is smart,” said the minister not noticing Max checking to see if his armband was on and active. It was.
[i]“To our glorious leader, General Mani, to the revolution and to our comrades struggling against their oppressors. May their sacrifices not go unnoticed,” he said, praying that he wouldn't regret any of this later.
That evening Max Forester was happy, peaceful and in love with his leader, General Mani. He didn’t have a care in the world and knew without think that the General was right. The training of foreign revolutionary, terrorist and militants must surely be right, because his glorious General Mani said so. And yes, his armband was on and active.
Long Live General Mani and his revolution!
