Death of a General An army general selected group of personal aids to come along with him when he was visiting a battlefield. At the debriefing, he instructed them that they must follow his instructions no matter what even if the directions seemed dangerous or counterintuitive. The aids were armed with standard gear and weapons, and they departed for the battlefield. Once they arrived, the general decided he wanted to snap a surprise picture of the group with his new camera. He stood up from behind a sandbag, waved his hands, and yelled ""Over here! Grin, aids!""
