Trying and failing
Ursula needed to find the truth, for it was her main task, her ultimate life goal. To do that, she had to go to “Karbo a Generals.” The reporter had to ask Malek – a local guide – to take her there. “I am trying to help some Iraqis,” she said, hoping to gain his trust. However, Malek’s reaction was unpredictable. “I wish the world would stop trying to help Iraqis,” Malek joked. The irony of his words was that ordinary Iraqis’ lives became worse after the world had made a decision to save them from a tyrant.
A language barrier
Freddie “warned” the passengers of the car “three times.” They didn’t react, they refused to stop. What was more, Freddie started freaking out. “Bastard raghead tried to f*cking kill me,” he cried. As the result of it, Geordie panicked, for he was a newbie; he fired to stop that. When Stewart came, he was livid. Geordie exclaimed: “Freddie warned them, boos. Three times.” The irony was that he had warned them “in fucking English.” They just could not understand him. That was the moment when a language barrier caused a terrible tragedy.
Ad
Geordie joined the army because he had thought it was a promising career. That was a really well-paid job, what was more it was not that difficult in the very beginning. He remembered that when he went down the Job Center and asked about jobs in the army, they showed him pictures of “tanks rolling through woodlands” and “guys patrolling through the trees with twigs sticking out their helmets.” The irony was that they did not show him “what” it would look like when his mate’s arm would be “blown off.” That was the moment when Geordie understood the difference between the reality and the ad.
