STEPPING FORWARD

A Marine officer, needing three men for a dangerous mission, asked for volunteers. He said to the platoon, “I am going to turn my back and give three men the opportunity to move forward one step.” He turned around for a few minutes, then faced the ranks again. A look of irritation crept over his face. He didn’t see the three men. Then the sergeant explained, “Sir, the entire platoon has stepped forward.”
