Bull, was the first thought to stab at Jay's mind. Lose the battle win the war? Win enough battles and the war is won.
But their commander addressed the entire crowd for yet another political tirade. He positioned himself beautifully. He took in the doubts swirling like fog among his soldiers. Jays included. There was a moment he listened. Of almost accepting this insane fate Jacques mentioned. Not everyone can be saved? Maybe not, but sitting back and watching war fell bodies like trees for slaughter? That's not the same thing. Could Jay commit to a commander that didn't see the distinction? Or worse, saw, but dismissed?
What was he going to do? Abandon the Legion? Go back to the States? Could go to college. Law school. Be a teacher. A banker? Right. That was a good plan.
Jay fell back, jaw tense but silent. Hard eyes looked around for an anchor, but they found none.
