The army has offered to it all sorts of unpleasant tasks.

They selected me as agent for your disappearance because I am an army officer.

I had no option, I must obey.

In my profession there is not enough fighting, and too much civilian work, police work, constable work, detective work.
There are fools often for officers, and over them politicians who are worse fools, sometimes.

Well, then, why blame a simple fellow like me for doing what is given him to do?
I have not liked the duty, no matter how much I have enjoyed the experience.
