The great war is over.. yet no one is cheering.
OFFICIAL POST WAR MEVESTA UPDATE
As the guns fall silent over the country of Mevesta one would expect to hear cheering in the streets. The war is over, white peace has been achieved, and honor maintained.
Sadly, nothing could be farther from the truth. Tonight all we hear are cries of children left orphaned in the night, the sobs of mothers who are realizing their sons will not be coming home, and the look of utter peril on the faces of families who have lost everything in a nuclear plume and the blink of an eye.
Tonight the bombed out country of Mevesta mourns the loss of over 1.5 million brave young men and women who fell in defense of their country, their alliance, and their families. The people sift through the ruins of thousands of lost levels of infrastructure finding the bodies of over 85,000 lost citizens who only weeks earlier were kissing their children goodnight. Tonight the citizens of Mevesta look hopelessly back towards thousands of miles of land they once called home.
In the capitol city, the government sifts through the rubble searching for what is left of the national gold reserves in order to begin reconstruction. Initial estimates are showing over $700,000,000 spent, lost, or looted in the fighting.
In the royal palace, King Jimmy2e Emerges from the bunker, half his family having been killed in the initial nuclear attack. They were told the enemy has a no first strike policy, they were wrong.
Over at the national cemetery thousands of acres have been cleared, seeded, and men put to rest in the hollowed ground as the endless train of coffins rolls into the cemetery, it is truly a horrific day.
Yet through all the pain and all the heartache one things still remains the strong within the country of Mevesta. The resolve to fight for what is right.
They know that the world will little note, nor long remember what they say here; but it can never forget what was done here.
It is rather for them, the living, to stand here, renewed in their dedication to the great task remaining before them. They stand there vindicated and highly resolved to make sure that these dead shall not have died in vain; that and the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the planet bob.
Although much has been lost, something much greater has taken root.
The idea of freedom, comradery, and allegiance to your allies.
o/ Here is to the fallen dead. Your death was not in vane.
