This is my second story so it's not that great. There will be more chapters over time. If you see a mistake please let me know so I can correct it. I will try to get a chapter up each week. Recommend it to your friends and comment it. All italics are thoughts. This is about the fight for oil when oil supplies run dry.
Oil War
They told us we were fighting to remove a major threat to the world. This threat had weapons of mass destruction and was aiming it at the US. This is why I was deployed to Iran. We all knew the real reason we invaded Iran was for oil. After Saudi Arabia refused to ship us oil our economy came to a halt. And there I was fighting for oil so that our country doesn't fail. This is my second month here in Iran; I still have 13 months to go. The things I've seen over the past 2 months, I never want to relive them. I had to kill one of my own friends in battle.
loudspeaker All units report to Sergeant Roger's tent for briefing. Immediately!
Sergeant Roger was speaking as I entered, "There is a problem, two of the black hawks that were delivering food and troops to our base have been shot down. We don't know if there were survivors but your assignment is to go in to the city and find the down birds. Retrieve the men, dead or alive! The Humvee and trucks will follow you into the city to pick up all supplies and soldiers. No one gets left behind!"
I got my guns ready and got in to the Humvee. We drove about 20 km before we walked out into the city. Now to find the helicopters. I looked into the sky and saw black smoke; I lead my crew towards the smoke.
"Watch your backs there are insurgents everywhere in this goddamn city. Shoot any motherfucker that fire at you! Stick to the walls and move out. GO! GO! GO!"
As we started running you could see that all the windows and doors started to close. They feared us I don't blame them after what happened last week.
"MAN DOWN MAN DOWN!"
"Where did that shot come from?" I said, "Look towards the rooftops. Fire at anything on the fucking roof. Call for Med-Vac transport. Brett get the medical supplies out and clean the flesh wound. I will cover you, Go!" I scanned the rooftops while waiting for transport to come. "There's the motherfucker shoot him on the roof. There will be more, get him cleaned and we have to move out."
"Ok here is the truck put him in and lets go."
As we closed in onto the city what I saw I will never forget. People were on the streets, ripping the helicopter body apart. They took the dead men out and beat them took of their clothes and mutilated their bodies. I shot fires at the people but the Iranian army and the insurgents fired back immediately and my men fell one by one. I was hit with a rock and grazed by a bullet. The last thing I saw was the sun shining, and then everything went black.
"Get up!" someone yelled in my ears.
