A Soldier’s Conscience (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 1:07s
The year is 1985. The war continues to rage, a brutal colonial conflict that seems impossible to conclude. John, a young soldier, finds himself increasingly disillusioned. Gone is the patriotism he felt back home, replaced by a constant fear gnawing at his gut. He listens to other soldiers complain about the conditions, the heat, the endless fighting, but these complaints feel hollow compared to the suffering he witnesses daily. He sees the war’s toll not through consumer news coverage on a computer screen, but directly in the faces of civilians: Their haunted eyes, their torn clothing, their urgent clinical needs, and their desperate scramble for shelter in collapsed concrete buildings. John wants to be convinced this war is just, but the evidence, in stark contrast, screams otherwise. He hears the whispers of a new chemical weapon, one that will supposedly bring a complete and swift victory. But at what cost, he wonders. He signed a contract with the army and pledged to serve his country, but now he considers the true meaning of duty. Does it mean following orders blindly, or confronting the horrific reality before him and speaking out against the carnage?
