71', Warman in charge of a small exchange unit. Requisitions came from the big man himself. I was to convey a small combatant group into the eye of the storm. This was an impossible mission and we knew it going it. Looking to the right and to the left of me, I knew this was the last time we would be alive. I was up to 2 and a half packs of Marlboro's a day and my picture I kept in my back pocket of Betty Davis was wearing thin. I hankered for a pair of fresh milky breasts and a velvet pocket to stick my gun into. I was tired of the Saigon whores that were infested with disease and parasites. I never raped no woman in the fields either. Warman just isn't into that vile. Many men would play with themselves at night time while in the fields. I use to gratify myself as well. I stopped that one morning when I saw Sargent Henson crouched over pained with regia mortis and his penis clenched in his hands. The fucker was killed while playing with his jolly balls. Charlie was evil that way. I went over there and killed them but it was my job. Nothing personal. The assignment was looking stale and I knew that no irrelevant movie like Saving Private Ryan could truly show the horrors of war. The men and I were prepped. We were to walk into enemy territory and shoot every pig we saw and any Charlie that might be standing in the way. The argumentation was then to light up as many rice fields on fire as possible and any Charlies that might be in the passageway. The plan was to hit Charlie's infrastructure. We were to target all the industry and incapacitate their nation. The plan was to make Vietnam stock plummet on Wall Street. The Sargent told us that for ever pig and rice field we killed or set on fire we would get bonus points. 10 pigs and 5 rice fields would earn us a day off with pay. 20 pigs and 10 rice fields and a soldier could trade that in for a purple heart. 30 pigs and 20 rice fields would get a soldier a week off payed in the Bahamas. The Sargent put the starters pistol in the air and fired. We were off running in the jungle with the thoughts of purple hearts and a Bahamas trip running through our little heads. I was the first to approach a village. Just I had anticipated they had pigs and chickens and a few rice fields carefully hidden under water. The water was no camouflage for the intelligence of myself but it posed a threat as to how I was to light the fuckers up? I counted 12 pigs and a few dozen chickens. My plan was to rush in yelling bloody murder and get the job done. With the passion for killing I jolted in firing my machine gun and throwing grenades in every direction I was proving that pigs and chickens can fly with the right kind of rocket fuel. I was doing great but some stupid Charlie kid left his Big-Wheel in the road way and I tripped over it. Forthwith my head hit the dirt and I was surrounded by many angry Charlies. I looked over my directives and saw I was steadily out numbered. I had to do what any solider in my position would do. I was fixing to go out in a hail of bullets but not with out doing some damage to Charlie in the process. I got up like a man and grabbed my M-16 and pulled the trigger as I spun on one foot using the tippy toes to do a ballerina 360 like a woman. All guns blazing Charlie never had a chance. All of them dead with blood flowing in the streets mixing in with the pigs blood. I was preparing to torch the rice fields when he came. Super Kung-fu Charlie. "You want to fight? Fight ME!" said Super Kung-Fu Charlie with some extra lip flapping. I dropped my guns and ammo and began the confrontation that would leave one of us dead and the other permanently brain damaged and writing about this on the internet. I used my American boxing skills to deliver a stunning American Hero jab, followed through with a right cross. Charlie kicks me in the balls and I drop to the ground. Then Charlie really fucked me up when he delivered the most deadliest move that the Charlies had mastered. Every American G.I. dreaded this move. We were warned about this in military camp. If you haven't already guessed it, Charlie delivers the dreaded Charlie-Horse. Now I am screwed. I can't walk and the cramping is a killer. I am praying for the lord savior, J. Edgar Hoover to save me. No such luck as Charlie has me for the 3 pin when ever he wants. Charlie is now scaling a village hut and I am into much pain to move. He lounges off the roof with a flying elbow drop. My life is flashing before my eyes but I pull through and move at the last second. Charlie hits the ground and in knocked unconscious. I roll over and over and make it to one of my grenades. Pull the pin and toss it over to Charlie as a going away present. Warman
