Mr sidibeh thanks for your observation and remarks.I agree with you that i should not have address the situation in that language.Going back to roots, our cultures do not in any form or way encourage us to use language in that manner.Sometimes when i just think about bullets flying before me in Fajara barracks and the one week i spend in those bushes plus all my friends killed,i just find it hard to control my language when writing pieces like that.Its appreciated that you raised the flag.
