ONE (?) GOOD MARINE - OT

[Guest guest]

One good Marine

A Taliban Army platoon was on patrol when the commander noticed a lone

Marine standing on a hilltop in their area.

The commander told two of his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they

dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could toward him.

Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over

the other side of the hill. The two soldiers followed. For the next few

minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as

quickly as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up on the hilltop.

He

brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood

there looking at the Taliban soldiers.

The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get the Marine. They

promptly ran as fast as they could toward him. Just before they got to the

top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The squad followed,

and for the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in

the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up

on the hilltop. Brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed

his arms and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers once

again.

The Taliban commander was really hot now. He ordered the rest of his

platoon to attack the Marine. Determined that Taliban soldiers were far

superior to one lone Marine, they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the

hill.

Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over

the other side of the hill. The bloodthirsty soldiers followed. For many

minutes there were horrific screams and dust flying in the air. It

continued and continued.

Finally, one lone Taliban soldier came crawling back

to the commander, all bloody and beat about the head and shoulders. His

uniform was torn, cuts were all over his body. The commander asked for a

report. The lone

soldier, trying to catch his breath, replied in a forceful and

trembling voice: " Sir,...run,...it's a trick. There's TWO

of 'em!! "
