The Legion has been doing well so far. We have pushed the enemy back through twenty towns. We are taking their land easily. Sarge thinks we are running right into a trap, but what does he know? He admitted himself that I am a better leader than him. Still, my troops are a little uneasy. Some of them heard Sarge talking and think he might be right. I will have to get Jim to calm them down. He is a corporal now in my unit. The men look up to him and respect his decision. Some still think he got this far because Sarge is his father, but I play this game fairly and don’t play favorites. He earned every one of his medals that he proudly wears on his chest during celebrations. Of course he doesn’t where them into battle. I ordered all of the men not to wear any sign of significance in rank while we are fighting. The enemy has been reported to take out commanding officers first to throw the teams into a state of panic. They try to ambush us and bombard us with our own grenades. They are going to try hitting this base tomorrow morning. But thanks to The Legion’s outposts, I already have a plan of attack.
