A More Perfect People

     The mission was somewhat of a success. The special forces team were to extract all if any of the last tribe of the dying Mohali before the nuclear warhead went of in their land of inhabitants. The reasons were unclear. What would lead a man to exterminate an entire culture? This is not the first time this has happened either. As the helicopter set off to take the team and the lone survivor out of the hot zone a member of the team tried to comfort the survivor who of which was only eight years old. In the course of many days little was known about the culture but the boy knew English as well as his own foreign tongue. The words the survivor spoke were that of a child his age. He did not mourn of the death of his parents or his siblings. He mourned of his culture. He was the last surviving member of his people and all he could muster out were tears that he was the last of his people. The soldier thought deeply about the toll it was taking on the child and he knew what to say to comfort him. Would you let your culture die with you or would you rebuild it to make a more perfect people?
