Did this cause you alarm, or fear? I think that most of us were simply sick of the tension of waiting, waiting. An event of some kind, even an attack, would at least break the tension, the silence, the sense of foreboding that we had. For this reason, some of our men said, ‘Let them come soon,’ which made other men wink and laugh.
Yep; the waiting is worse than the actual event itself in many ways.
