The Army Captain

Unlucky captain He was captain in the army but desired to become a general so he volunteered to fight in Afghanistan. This was natural since came from a military family connected to the royal household. He used to boast to the newspapers that war was better than sex. His vehicle was struck by a mine and his dreams stopped. Flags on half- mast church bells tolled which they wouldn`t have done had he been a sergeant? Even in death, the class shows its ugly face. He or in this case, his family received the highest honour and his son vowed to be a solder to fight for his country. No one saw the truth the captain was in Afghanistan because it was good for his future his promotion.
