Jade Lady Burning

In the Army you get used to things like this: not really being in charge of an investigation, not knowing all of what's going on, just being told to watch somebody and report back. People think of the Army as being demeaning. In a lot of ways it is. Though I think many civilian jobs have the same demands: don't ask questions, just do it.
