Special forces soldier

by deepwater

Sierra Alpha Sierra soldiers Carry equipment that would kill the average man
its a minimum 80 pound backpacks plus weapons and radios
On a bad day you can travel 10 miles in 2 hours with full equipment
Most learn to sleep on the walk or for 5 of the 10 minutes each 2 hour stop
50 to 100 miles per 24 hours may be required to reach the designated target
Restrooms are holes you dig in the ground within sight of your buddy
The food you eat was made sometime in the last war if you’re lucky
Your training was brutal, fact 75 % have dropped out or were injured
Now the morning comes that you make the grade and see what you become
Your first mission, 6 men to a team 10,000 miles from home, no support
G2 intelligence tells you all is A-OK for a go so you observe the situation
12, 24, 36, hours pass under cover whatever it takes to know your terrain
Operate at night hide during the day hoping there’s no infra-red in the area
O-hour now is the time to infiltrate the enemy, moving as one, no noise,
No sounds till the click then the ear piercing blast and flash from a trip-mine
Soldier One has hit a trip wire killing two of your team the game's over
Now time for all the blood and tears from your training program to kick in
Name rank and number is given freely with guns pointing at your head
Naked in a cold wet room hands and feet tied, kicked and beaten half to death
Name, rank and number is given again followed by more beating and kicks
Food and water denied and forget cries for help, you are captive
For the first time you’re on your own, split from the team, survival mode
No sleep but more beatings no food, water just beatings, you think of home
One of the team is picked out; you face him as he is shot in the back of the head
You are told to talk or you will be next, name, rank and number is all that comes,
