<div class="text-justify">The thought of home made me join the army,  strangers we were  here,  born half a slave and half a stranger,  my nationality  belongs to the neighbouring country, I was told am the only son of a clan chief who wouldn't  dare send his kids to school for the fear of been brainwashed  by the western education  ravaging  through communities and turning children to want to study abroad.  

My father was said to have hated them for turning there own children against them. 

The returnees  also made it worse,  they tend to neglect cultures and traditions as they came back,  they just don't want to fit in anymore,  all that we were doing was seen as diabolical,  for our local dance move they brought the disco  virus,  in months everyone  has got the flu,  that was just the beginning, kids wants at all cost to speak what is called the queens English,  for our Trado-medical way of treating diseases  they came with a doctor,  wearing white, having a kind of rope they use in testing heartbeats. 

That wasn't  enough,  trouble  woke up the day a woman complained of intestinal  problem,  and the doctor  in good will made her lay still on the sick bay, he told her to open her cloth and the woman just couldn't  believe  her ears,  this woman is old enough  to be his mother, in reality,  she is older than his mother. The woman  sat straight  up and handed the doctor  a dirty slap,  alerted the clinic and made for the village chief. It took a while before the whole issue was settled. Not before the whole issue became a wide spread thing,  causing both shame to the woman and the doctor. 


I started  to grow by the year,  uneducated,  my behaviors were crude for all I know,  and my father never bothered  to check up on me. 

Then one day we got to know that a tribal civil war was coming,  father and men of his age range put courage on, went to fight and never  came back, they won us all,    our opponent  burned everything  down to the ground,  I heard him command,  a man dark in complexion  with a scar across his face. 


Few of us who were rescued stays as refugees  in the military camp, we just don't know what awaits  us, gradually  I start to fall in love with ranks and composure of the military,  signed up in few days, they never knew I abhor a revenge cause,  to one day wipe out the race that made me an orphan. 

I want you to write this down son,  just in case tomorrow, my name is written among the villains of time,  let them know this is what happened.</div>

Minor Correction
You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence: <blockquote>My father was said to have hated them for turning there own children against them.</blockquote> It should be <i>their own</i> instead of <i>there own</i>.
