THE INTERVIEW THE OLD SERGEANT SERIES By Steve Newton 20

DEDICATED TO THE SERGEANT MAJOR

It had been a long hard fought engagement and the terrorists had put up a pretty good fight. For rag heads. His men were dead tired but still running on adrenalin. He noticed one of his men limping and he called him over. “What’s up with the leg son? Your pantyhose too tight?” “Aw sarge you know I only wear pantyhose on the weekends.” “Well, get your ass over to the medics.” “Yes sergeant!”

THE INTERVIEW THE OLD SERGEANT SERIES By Steve Newton 20

DEDICATED TO THE SERGEANT MAJOR

It had been a long hard fought engagement and the terrorists had put up a pretty good fight. For rag heads. His men were dead tired but still running on adrenalin. He noticed one of his men limping and he called him over. “What’s up with the leg son? Your pantyhose too tight?” “Aw sarge you know I only wear pantyhose on the weekends.” “Well, get your ass over to the medics.” “Yes sergeant!”

As they entered their compound the old sergeant noticed that there was a large crowd gathered around his Commanding Officer. “Aw, crap he thought. It’s the news media.” Turning he started heading the other way as fast as he could without running. But not fast enough because his CO spotted him and called him over. The sergeant could see his men had started to gather on the outskirts of the crowd.

“Yes Sir?” the sergeant said. “Sergeant, Mr. Mohamed is here from Al Jazeera news and wants to do a live interview with someone from our platoon,” the CO said. “Sir, I think you better get someone else.” The CO got a hard look on his face and simply said, “Sergeant we have been order by Division to cooperate, so proceed.”

The newsman immediately stuck a microphone in the sergeant’s face and the TV cameraman turned on a bright light. His men immediately moved forward for two reasons. Number one, they knew in their hearts that the old sergeant did not like anything shoved in his face and they wanted to be close by to see the fireworks. AND to join the fun if need be.

They were surprised and a little disappointed when the sergeant just took a step back. The newsman immediately started with the rapid-fire questions. “Sergeant, we are live on Al-Jazzeera. How many innocent civilians did your platoon kill today?” “The sergeant smiled and said, “None but we sure killed a lot of camel jockeys.” His CO’s mouth fell open and he started to intervene but the newsman keep on.

“Isn’t that statement a sign of racial discrimination sergeant? And I am sure that the resistance fighters put up a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds.” “Nah, they just mostly ran. Didn’t do them much good because they just died tired” the old sergeant said.

Red faced the newsman still tried to get his licks in for his audience. “Sergeant, isn’t it true that your men have committed atrocities and that the heroic resistance fighters have killed or wounded over half your pitiful platoon?”

Before anyone could blink the newsman was out cold in the sand. One of the sergeant’s men “accidentally” tripped the cameraman while another “accidentally” fell on him. Suddenly one of the sergeant’s men had the camera and was shooting the news. “Hey sarge, look what I found! Your live on the Al-propaganda network.”

The old sergeant bent over and grabbed the mike out of the sand. Looking straight into the camera, fire in his eyes the old sergeant suddenly grinned. His men knew this was a bad sign but no one else did. “Hello to all my terrorist friends in the Arab world. I just want you to know one thing. WE’RE COMING TO GET YOU!”
