One of the officers, without lifting his eyes from the papers, smirked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Special forces? Maybe the kitchen would suit you better \u2014 peeling potatoes? Or you wanna be a janitor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 No. Only special forces, \u2014 the man stubbornly repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Boys, throw him out, \u2014 the major said irritably. \u2014 He\u2019s probably crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two soldiers grabbed the homeless man by the arms and dragged him into the hallway. The door slammed behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man stood by the exit, clutching his passport to his chest, silently crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that moment a general walked down the corridor. He was about to pass by, but suddenly stopped, staring closely at the homeless man \u2014 and froze in shock at what he saw&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude31\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f631.svg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83e\udee3\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1fae3.svg\">&nbsp;Continuation in the first comment&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f447.svg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f447.svg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Captain? \u2014 he said in shock. \u2014 Is that\u2026 you? Why are you like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man wiped his eyes and quietly replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 After the last operation I came back wounded. I spent a long time recovering, used up everything I had. My wife left, took the children. I had to sell the house\u2026 Ended up on the street. But now I\u2019m healthy and I want to return.
