The Empire of Reimia (3)

— It’s never perfect. War isn’t chess; it’s impossible to prepare for everything and completely control the course of events. Not to mention that the soldiers under your command aren’t pieces on a game board. And that’s not even considering all the other nuances. Are you ready to give your life to fulfill a strategic objective, to put your loved ones in danger? What about the opponents on the other side of the barricade, are you ready to take their lives? What if the orders from your superiors don’t align with your personal moral code? — Sapphiros cast a brief glance at the blue sky above them. — Perhaps I was too insistent with these questions. I apologize if that was the case.
