Once again we have another patrol in Afghanistan. Just another day in the office for the Rangers. My team, callsign Bravo 2-4, is made up of our leader, Sgt. Greg Smith, SAW Gunner Spc. Kyle Davis, Pvt. Jon Aaron, and of course myself Spc. Benjamin Bertsch. We once had one other man in our squad named Joseph Allen but he got called away and hasn't come back.
Suddenly I awoke from my day dreaming to hear Smith yelling, "AMBUSH!" We all sprang into action at once finding cover behind a building in rubbles. "Davis covering fire… Aaron, Bertsch move over to that gas station on three… 1… 2… 3 GO, GO, GO" Smith yelled. The only good thing about this was that there are only two enemies against four of us. We finally are at the gas station across the street after zigzagging between cover. Then Aaron and I quickly eliminated the enemies and returned to Smith and Davis. "Alright gather 'round, new orders" Smith said. "What" the rest of the team said almost at the same time. Smith paused before saying, "We are due to go back to base for a talk from the "Big Man". The "Big Man" is none other than, Gen. Shepherd.
Once we got back to the base Shepherd said he had big news. He said that we were going back to the United States and we were all excited but something was very weird with the way they are telling us to hurry up. I just know something is wrong.
