Out numbered
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 quick 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 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 are
TWO of them, and their both from North High School!"
