My country has been at peace for fifty years. The thing that we're fighting against is not the sort that can be defeated in a traditional swords-and-guns sense. I tried. It didn't end well.
I am the only one who has faced this thing and lived. I can only prepare so many soldiers for what they will face. Preparing the entire country was out of the question from the start - not only would that be far too many people for me to handle, but there is the distinct possibility that none of them would believe me. They have never heard of anything like this. They would not want to believe that their country would come under attack.
My actions have not been perfect. They have been the only way for me to ensure the survival of my country.
