The White Flag of War

Battered and bloodied the atrocities of war have broken morale. Broken communication lines have left a unit isolated and in desperate need of each other. Separated they have fought a superior force in desperate search for each other. They were bombarded with bombs and ambushes were lurking around every corner. But still the war waged on. The enemy tried to break us using every weapon at their disposal. Through lies and deception they tried to break our spirits. In a foxhole these soldiers screamed out to a god that wasn’t there. They were escaped prisoners of war subjected to the atrocities of spite. And yet their spirits stayed strong. They fought back. They blacked out the lies and deception. They spit on the bribes and false diplomacy. They cringed through the pain and the torture. They had a mission. Surrender is not an option. But now they find themselves surrounded with no escape. For now they must continue as white flagged warriors. They must never forget their mission. For they will fight until their last breath.
