            There was an Army unit in Olkhon Island, they couldn’t understand why they had been secluded from the world. All their communications had been illuminated. (Television, radio’s, and cell phones). As far as they were concerned, their duties where to keep peace between minorities. They had no idea what was really going on in the world around them. The lieutenant wouldn’t give them an explanation. He did tell them that it was a matter of State security. I found this to be disturbing, because the Army was not being honest with the guys that are supposed to be risking their lives to save ours and keep our country free. But by not letting them know what was going on they wouldn’t be prepared.

            The Army unit didn’t know what to expect especially when the part where the little girl was coming across the field stumbling, and one of the guys from the unit (Rat face) whispered in the Lieutenants ear, then turned around and shoot her between the eyes. As if this was supposed to be some sort of a secret between them, instead of being honest and telling the whole unit why they were there, and what was really going on, they should have been told, they were there to protect a disease from spreading to the rest of the world. With the unit not knowing exactly why this little girl was shoot between the eyes, even I would have had trouble excepting that, not knowing the true reason why. I would have had to have an explanation.

            By this time the unit realized they were not being told the true story of what was going on. When the unit walked upon an elderly lady with a chain wrapped around her neck, and lady snarled and grabbed at them, as they walked by. Arkady pulled a knife out of his belt and jabbed the women in the heart, she was already dead. Everyone in the unit was watching as this happened, they then realized that this was not a peace mission, but it was much more serious. All they could think about was going back home to their families and trying to save them. They all knew why they were called out on this mission. This was a little bit more than just a peace mission. The Army unit was there to control the spreading disease. (From the walking dead), and to eliminate the infected. I found it to be annoying and disturbing that under this type of circumstances, why the Army wouldn’t have been truthful with these units and inform them of what was truly going on around them. Instead of keeping these big secretes.

Did they expect them to never find out the real reason they were there. Did they keep this a secret from them because they thought this unit wouldn’t cooperate with their demands? Or if they found out this disease had infected their friends and family and they would have to eliminate all of them. In the most part, Army Units are Loyal to their Lieutenants. If they would have known in advance why they were there to begin with, they could have been more prepared for the situation.
