The Choice

Francis White, a now-former NATO commanding officer talks to the press about the recent attack on Malden.

What was the choice?
"For context, those men are heroes. I don't care what the media says about the destruction of the capitol of Malden, it was a necessary action brought upon by the sparring of the enemy CSAT soldiers. They wanted- no- needed to protect the lives of those back home and of their fellow brothers in arms. They had to either run away from the fight or go down with the enemy. We all know which one they chose."

Was it the right one?
"Of course it was. Anyone who says different discounts this country's choices to save our lands and people are not welcome here. Pack up your shit and leave."

Monsters!
At this point, Francis White got visibly upset and started calling out to the crowd.

"Who said that? Who the fuck said that?" ''Francis then tries to climb over the table, but is restrained by his peers, including Lt. Paterson. He threw fists with one of the guards and started being escorted out by security.'' "They saved the country! They chose to defend the nuke until it went out!"

''White is kicked out and the press conference ceases. End of recording.''

Afterword
We barely know who the three soldiers were, but it was told that they were civilians turned military by NATO after their great work escaping their town and making their way out of Altis. After an attack on NATO's military base by CSAT, the executive decision by their officer, the deceased James Smith, was made to attack CSAT's main base in the capitol of Malden. There were many forces on either side, most notably the NATO's M2A1 Slammer tank (which of course caused infighting) and CSAT's annoying as hell Kajman. After NATO's forces were dwindled, the three discovered a nuclear bomb CSAT had been hiding after taking refuge in a warehouse. It's told only one of them could read for the wire combination as another climbed in the bomb case and cut them. The third took a stand against the still incoming forces. They were almost overrode until eventually the countdown started and the rest is history.
