Sargent Milo Jovovich hot,tired and
dirty, was in his fourteenth month of occupation of Tehran duty and
looked at his new unit and was not happy. 20 bipedal humiform
combat bots, 10 quadruped combat bots and 10 small tracked combat
bots. A ten year army veteran and he had never thought that it would
come to this. He would quit but what kind of job could he get in this
economy. Sargent jovovich turned and saluted the Lieutenant, who
walked in looking as if he had just come from taking a shower., and
said through gritted teeth,”Your men sir.”
Lt. Howard Baskerville was fresh out of
college, a recent graduate of U.T. Austin with a degree in computer
science, ROTC had been his way of paying for college after his
parents had both been laid off from their jobs at Motorolic. He had
taken a two week crash course on Iran and counter-insurgency program
that they were conducting just before he had left for Iran. Lt.
Baskerville had been in Iran for six days found it was confusing as
all get out. When he had been off base all the Iranians smiled and
were very polite and every night rocket, mortars and sniper attacks.
Roadside bombs seemed to be everywhere. He knew that some of the
people smiling people had to be pasadaran .
“Yes, excellent sergeant we will
give the pasadaran hell and without any loss of American lives,”
stated Lt. Baskerville who thought except for you and me sergeant.
