He Felt Ashamed and Returned

(By Lt. Hassan Doshan)
General Babaee and I were going in a Toyata pickup to a ground force camp in a mountainous area in the west.
We saw protocol soldiers standing rigid at every 100 meters. "Dear Hassan, please find out why they are standing here. I got close to one of them and asked, "Brother, why are you standing here?"
The soldier on guard answered, We have been told that General Babaee is coming here. We have been standing here for two hours, but he has not come yet.
By hearing this conversation the General got angry and asked the soldier on guard,
"Did your commander order you to stand here?"
The solder on guard answered, Oh yes. We are here for noting under the sun.
We are also in danger of anti revolutionary men's attacks. If they get a chance, they will cut our throats. Abbass said, "Brother, go and tell your commander that Babaee had come, but felt ashamed and returned."
He faced me angrily and said, "Hassan, make a "u" turn, we are going back".

This scene gave me an odd feeling. It reminded me as though Imam Ali (peace be upon him) is going to "Anbar" city and is blaming those people who had come to welcome him.
