A joke with meaning

A joke with meaning

“On a military front, in the trenches, an Italian company of soldiers is in a fighting position at night, while a light autumn rain gently rain rain gently rains and wets them up to the skin. At one point, the commander of the unit receives the order to attack by phone, with all the forces at his disposal. He shouts loudly in the silence of the night, in a clear and penetrating tenor voice:
–Aavantiii (forward)…!
No movement. The soldiers, silent, did not speak.
Again:
–Avantii…!
Again, no movement.
The captain says once more:
— Avantii…!
Apparently, no result. No one moves.
Eventually, one of the soldiers says out loud:
“Che bela voce, Capitano…!” (what a beautiful voice, captain!) ”

(The nationality of the soldiers was chosen in this joke only for the alleged inclination towards musical sensibility, without being a nationalist allusion or discrimination).

A joke with meaning

Are soldiers guilty of not obeying their captain’s orders?
YES, they do not fulfill their mission in this way and do not respect the investiture received,

that of being soldiers under the command of that captain.
The fact that they are on the battlefield suggests that they desired and aspired to this investiture, to be soldiers and to fight.
Basically, they do not fulfill their role in that place and under that uniform, so the next stage will be, of course, the cancellation of that investment.
It is also worth noting that (although there is probably irony in the joke presented), they appreciate his way of being, his voice, provided they are not asked to do something, to follow his guidance.

Is the captain also to blame for this state of affairs?
Certainly YES.
Of the two parts presented, the soldiers and the captain, the level of power, consciousness, information, knowledge, and authority is expected to be much higher for the captain than for the soldiers.
They can make mistakes much more easily, and if they do, it means that that captain has failed to gain enough authority to help them get out of this fall.

What is going to happen as a result of this incident?
Their captain or leader will be occulted for them, so they will no longer have access to him, even if he still exists.
The investiture will be withdrawn from the soldiers, and they will pay for the consequences of their actions or become soldiers again, if they deserve it.

“Whether it is a child, or even a harlot,
a madman, a servant or a head of the family,
what comes from a master should not be neglected;
Who would give up a pearl, even if it is buried in the mud?”
