The first blood is crucial but who would summon the courage to start and follow through? General Malami had no experience of a real full-scale war. He had been promoted on a recommendation by powerful politicians and campaign sponsors of the president. General Mike had joined the US army to escape unemployment and the only option that opened up to him back then was to get enlisted. He was well trained and got promoted by experience and contributions of pure genius. He had fought in Iraq, Kenya, and Afghanistan.

General Mike's men approached battle-ready and they keep Qassim behind the troops to prevent him from getting shot by a sniper. They continued to move towards Camp Sambia with caution and General Malami men set their guns ready as they waited for a reason to draw the first blood.
