What happens
War is seldom without brutality. Soldiers are not known for their mercy, but this war has seen some exceptionally vile behavior on the part of our occupying forces. It appears that the our nation, the mercenary band we have sent to occupy, are unsatisfied with the wages we provide them and have resorted to robbing the civilian population. Their actions have tainted the image of all our troops. As extortion by means of terror and torture becomes commonplace, our soldiers are reviled as well as feared and stories of their atrocities spread well beyond the borders of the war.
