And in his haste, left his flanks open to enfilade fire.

Troops are silently moving into position as we speak, while Mitt stands exposed, looking around, thinking that he has just taken the field of battle.

Except this was a only a skirmish.

The real battle hasn't even started yet, and Mitt doesn't even realize it.

He will soon.
