SEALS

His head exploded
Like an over ripe pumpkin
Hit with a sledgehammer
His body crumbled to the street
Like a broken horse pinyada
In a nightmare Christmas parade
He joined the other two
Lying dead in the street that morning
No one would move
dogs wouldn't even come out
To check out the bodies
as they often did
They had the street pinned down
Stone cold mother fuckers
SEALS

Author's Note

Its about a SEAL sniper team we were sent to cover. It was the only time in my life I had ever seen SEALS in the field. They weren't like us. It's really hard to explain.

All I can say is if i were there and on the opposing side I would surrender!!!!!! and hope they gave me MRE s and water. One thing about Americans they are averse to killing unarmed men women and children.I would sure try to be one of those!!!
You know Ric you seem a really decent man. i hope that assesment is the case.

It was widely rumored SEALs played by a different ROE than han we did. I didn't know if that was entirely true but we all knew if they were around big s**t was brewing. To this i think we got sent to sweep buildings for detainees and intelligence but for whatever reason we never got the order to do so. There was an observation drone buzzing around overhead so something was up. Eventually the SEAL team contacted us and told us where they were and when their transportation would arrive so we could cover their withdraw and leave with them which which what we did. We didn't take any fire so the whole thing was pretty much gravy.

Seals are different... and the same. Special Forces are different... and the same. Marines are different... and the same. CIA guys doing the dirty work are different... and the same.
Good write, BR.

Walking me hand in hand to meet the horrors and terrors of war. It both amazes me and upsets me what humanity can do.

Some say SEALS are better than Marines, but I don't believe it. Great write.
Semper fi, man.

No unit is better, just different. God bless them all.

They are whatever an aggressive government makes them to be.

Pinata . . . Piñata really but U.S computers don't have the ñ letter.

People sleep peacefully in their beds only because rough men stand ready in the night to do violence on their behalf. I don't know who originally wrote that but I sure as hell know where I was the first time I heard it. Parris Island SC in the MCRD. I was 18 years old, away from home for the first time and scared half out of my mind. The corps was and will always be the greatest thing I ever did in my life and there's been many a time I regret leaving. I left because I was to save my marriage which ended in divorce within a year after
my discharge. It was one of the most devastating events of my life and the thing is she thought me leaving the corps was a bad idea. I thought if I were at home we could work things out. I was wrong. Jeez how in the hell did I get on that? Thanks for the review doc. My next piece will be funny.

You bet your a*s, rough rider!

The SEALs are no joke. Good write, Baby.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you

I don't think I could have watched that in person... I had a hard time just reading it and wrapping my head around it, imagining it. I've seen some messed up stuff but that's... different.

Thank you for the review
