However, the Company Commander did not mention this at all. Right after the roll call ended, there were many whispers and questions: "Why did the company commander ignore that violation?", "The liaison soldier who violated the law was given priority, why wasn't he punished?"...

After the unit turned off the lights and went to sleep, the company's political commissar went around the hallways of the buildings and still heard whispers and discussions about this. He decided to go back to the company commander's room and knock on the door.

- Political commissar hasn't gone to sleep yet? Just got home and came up quickly. Is there something going on at home?

- My house is fine, sir! But I just went to inspect the unit and heard soldiers whispering about the liaison soldier's violation but the company commander did not handle it. What exactly is going on?

- Ah... nothing serious. The thing is, this morning, the liaison Tuan had a collision with the Squad Leader of Squad 3. The reason was that Tuan folded the blanket carelessly. When the Squad Leader reminded him, Tuan got angry and argued, then grabbed a broom handle and threatened to hit him, but his comrades stopped him in time. I told Tuan not to do that from now on...

- Brother, so Tuan violated discipline. We should have handled it according to the regulations of the Military Management Regulations, ensuring fairness and objectivity. Especially since Tuan is a liaison soldier, often close to the commander, we must handle it more strictly to avoid officers and soldiers from thinking that the commander is biased. The fact that you didn't say anything about Tuan's violation when taking the roll call just now made the soldiers wonder and will definitely think that the officers were defending "your soldier" so they ignored it, which will give rise to negative thoughts, not "convinced". When there is a soldier who violates like Tuan, it will be very difficult for us to handle. Not to mention, sometimes Tuan thinks that he is given priority by the commander, so he "relies on his claws, fish relies on his fins", which is even more harmful to him, brother!

- I thought it was simple so I intended to let Tuan off. But the Political Commissar was right, we cannot be biased like that because it will "do more harm than good". Tomorrow morning I will deploy soldier Tuan to write a report, self-criticism and the squad, platoon organize serious disciplinary activities. From now on I will also learn from experience, collective work must be completely fair and objective, not letting personal feelings influence.
