On a particularly frustrating day on an excessively screwed-up mission, I got some bad news from higher headquarters that we needed to change routes and go back through the potentially IED-laden roads we just drove through. The way I got handed the information was so casual that it stung — it was clear that the delivering officer had no idea of what that meant for us. A change in mission was much more than a phone call for us.
