Office of War

Five people were exhausted and looked ashamed to be around the circular table, but one man was young and passionate. He preached for hours about the war and never seemed to think twice about the numbers he was saying. He was interrupted by an older man, aged with worry and thought.

"What are you talking about? America's not going to be destroyed," the man in a dark blue suit sidetracked to the man aged with worry and thought.

"Never?" the man aged with worry questioned. "Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed." He extended his hand towards the young man to answer his next question. "Why not yours? How much longer do you think your country will last?" He closed his hand and raised an eyebrow. "Forever?"
