Re: Game A
Kirby stood and walked to door and opened it a crack "Corporal Weathers! Coffee, Black; Tea, 2 sugars. Yesterday!" He then closed the door and returned to his seat. Kirby slid the file across the desk and gave it a detailed look. He took his time a he did.
It was all there. The night drop as Platoon leader in Falluga, and the lesser known, and unnamed, battle two months later that got him his first bronze star. The early morning river crossing out of the "green zone" in Bagdad was also there - that had been hairy, two of his men got purple hearts on that one.
Then were some things he expected: Ranger school, aviation school, and being deployed to Afganastan. The second, classified, incursion into Tora Bora was there - his second bronze star. Gis first major combat action as Company Commander was also there: Primary assult team in Operation Moshtarak. He lost 5 close friends that time, the silver star they gave him that time did nothing to take the pain of their loss away.
It was all there, all of it.
Hearing the Corporal's footsteps nearing the door Kirby stood again and quickly opened the door. "Thank you Corporal." he said, having retrieved the tray. Closing the door once more he delivered the Colonel his coffee and sat down with his own tea.
He took a sip then closed the file and slid it back to the colonel. "It's thorough thorough, er.. Very thorough sir. Does my next assignment have something to do with reviewing files?" he asked, dubiously.
