(Revised Edition)

CH. 1

Fun in The Sun

(Prologue)

A/N: basically this is the same as my other LOD story I just changed somethings mostly for creative licensing hopefully this one will be better in my eyes

Leon rested his head against the seat of the Osprey troop carrier. It had been one hot day in more ways than one. Not only was it one hundred and twelve degrees and getting hotter each day, but with all the armor gear and everything else that him and his team had to carry it quickly adds body temp. but also the enemy had decided that the area they were operating in for the last day was to be the place for a major ambush.

Leon may not of liked the local nationals but he did respect the way they fought. Iraq as a whole had been fighting off and on for two thousand years just like the rest of the middle east. To say that they had war down to a science was an understatement. His eight man squad of the most highly trained special forces operators had barely escaped a firefight that was worse than anything Mogadishu had been in the nineties. Unfortunately he had lost one and him and another one were hurt of his guys before they had made it to the extraction point. The worst part was that they were only a few meters from the extraction point all they would have had to do would be to wait five minutes for the bird.

He looked down at their bodies, the was Sargent First Class Singletary, he was only three months from retiring, the other Private First Class Gerow both were F. N. G.s to the unit who were also going to be father in a few months time.

He was glad when the pilots said they were five minutes out. Glad that in forty-eight hours he would be saying good bye to this god forsaken country and going home. He looked at the rest of his guys. McGuire was resting his head against his rifles butt-stock. Starnes was lounging spread out while holding his S. A. W. Staff Sargent Reale was staring off into space while Smith the medic was patching up Gerow the groups sniper he had been unfortunate enough to get hit in the shoulder.

Leon the other person that got hit was shot in the leg he had already put a tourniquet on. Truthfully he told the others the pain of tourniquet being put on was worse than the actual injury. It didn't matter to him though he was gonna catch holy hell when he went home anyway

'Lily, his girlfriend was impossible at times.' He thought as he remembered her last words to him

"You better come back alive in on uninjured and in one piece or else mister tough special forces guy." she told him right before he got on the plane to fly to Kuwait.

A/N: yeah I know shorter than what Ive been typing and a different beginning than originally but I've been out of high school for 2 years and its still kinda fuzzy memories lol. The story will still be very close to the original story just with some changes. Please R&R
