The War at Lexington

            Have you ever heard that saying "Expect the Unexpected"? Indeed some may have and some may have not. According to Karla, It was looking like it would be a good day for a walk but that was before the war was declared. One group who thought they could stand together as a congregation, divided as opinions began to form (Karla Pacheco). The tension between both sides grew stronger as time passed by. Soldiers from both forces were arguing and throwing out ideas at each other. Soon it would become a competition to see whose ideas were best (Karla Pacheco). A disagreement turns into an inevitable battle (Karla Pacheco). .
             Primarily each Battalion had their own battle plan. According to Captain Joel Foster, a war hawk soldier they occupied 3 defensive slingshots at their disposal. All of which would be positioned defensively around their flag. Depending on enemy position our first goal is to lower their numbers before making a play for the flag (Captain Joel Foster). Distraction and diversion are the key elements; noise and movement will draw attention and allow a smaller group to get in fast (Captain Joel Foster). .
             Consequently, the Terminators unsurprisingly put forward their battle plan. According to Captain Jacob Hollifield, the proposed for his team was to divide into two sections: one for defense and the other for offense. The Group's objective is to serve as a recon team to attempt a tactical approach on the enemy's flag and defense thereof (Captain Jacob Hollifield). Therefore, if casualties are taken too devastatingly on the groups of four then the recon teams will double check to gather remaining forces and make battlefield decisions (Captain Jacob Hollifield).
             It was a cold and smoggy day for a war, but the terminators were ready. The ground was filled with muddy rain holes and extreme wetland. We were armed and ready for battle. (Latonya Young). Shots were fired, and soldiers took off on the battlefield from both sides.
