My Longing Perception Of Generals In General

 Here is a speech one hypothetically wrote:

"I currently only have 99 out of the 100 that are under my command.  The loss of even a single one is more then i can bear for it is me, myself, my soul, my actions, that lead to a removal of a human being from this planet.  A human being with a family, with a passion, while I sit here in my office still able to command.  Although I'm prepared to bear the responsibility, I simply would like to share the amount of extreme pain can be very hard on me.  Thank you for listening."

*I recall a hazy memory of a something of a quote from the movie The Gladiator where the argument was made that even the very blades of grass are loved on the land and that, therefore, they would be a likely good pick for a general.*
