You know why they say, "Don't shoot the messenger?" Because they always shoot the messenger.
Company, platoon, squad. 196, 50, 12 people in each. I was selected as squad leader, mostly responsible for simply relaying messages as I was only trainee myself.
Truth be told, I was yelled at, scolded, even cursed for just spreading news.
Honestly, it was pretty annoying. I am no saint. I have my anger issues as well, but I tried to contain it all, even all the complaints. Then, I thought about the prophets. What wrong did they ever do?
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
