Roger's Leadership In The Military

The smell of smoke and the falling of ashes was a sign of defeat that would not be tolerated. It’s December 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor and Roger Protankscy and his squadron had just been ordered to be transported onto the USS Missouri. Roger was a strong and robust man fit for a soldier, but it wasn’t just his physical outlook that made him a commander of twenty of the best soldiers in the world it was his ways of leadership that stood out.

They checked the surroundings for any more enemies, then they planted C4s on the artillery guns and got as far away as possible from the explosion radius of the C4. “Ba-Boom!”
