My thanks to the author. We’ve been enjoying this amazing family and their day to day lives. In truth they are part of the Cold War which followed horrific wars. WWI and WWII and all the one on ones in between. That was a dose of reality that was needed to remember how shitty this stuff is. The higher ups move civilians like chess pieces, this includes soldiers. In the end, the civilians and soldiers of both sides lose and the higher up assholes either celebrate or lick their “wounds” and plan the next war.
Sorry everyone for such a depressing comment. This chapter felt like a necessary slap in the face. From here on out, I’ll enjoy the fun of this story, but remember what’s really happening.
