“Sir!” a rebel shouted. “Look over there to the building!”
Sanders grabbed his binoculars and zoomed in on the Capitol building. He almost couldn’t believe his eyes. The old bastard had done it! Sanders never thought he would see the day when the American flag would fly free in the wind like it was now. Being mesmerized by the sight in front of him, which forced his jaw open, he almost forgot that there was still an operation in progress.
“Get me the camera!” Sanders shouted behind him.
A young rebel reached beneath him and took hold of the small digital camera. He handed it forward and Sanders snatched it from his hands. He moved the camera forward and aimed the lens towards the flag. The picture on the little HD screen on the side showed a small picture of the scene on the roof, so Sanders pressed down on the zoom button. After a few moments of recording, he placed the camera back on his lap and picked up his walkie.
“RETREAT!!!”
