Saved by coffee
Even our armed forces are susceptible to the call of fate and with miraculous results. This soldier made a decision based simply on the fact he hadn’t finished his coffee. Instead of going with the first convoy to another base, he stayed to finish his drink.
Sadly, for those on that first convoy, it didn’t make it to the base, and our soldier found out while still drinking his coffee. I’d imagine he had pretty mixed emotions about that fateful decision, but that he was glad he’d waited to finish his cup of Joe.
