What is the True Price of Freedom

Icalled the commanding officer and said, "It''s 5:00 AM."

"Radiosilence. Wait for my sign."

Whatwe didn''t know was that enemy was already in the tunnel.

Theywere everywhere.

Theultimate price of freedom is human life. And I wasn''t prepared to die. I wasafraid and angry that all I saw was disappointment in the faces of everybodyaround me, blaming us because we didn''t perform well.

Wedid inflict damages to the enemy, but we were outnumbered. I don''t know howmany, but that enemy was waiting for us. Even today I still see that tunnel,that abyss of darkness trying to swallow us all.
