A TASTE FOR BLOOD
By

100 Word Story

Mike Sloane cooled Special Forces training, but Sergeant Phipps chewed his ass like prime meat.
“Sloane! Get it together, shithead!”
“But . . .” Mike retaliated, “my weapon’s clean—real clean.”
One day in Vietnam, their patrol exposed a small village. Mike, on point, went in first. Someone darted from a hut. Mike’s M-16 spouted death. He emptied four magazines into panicked villagers.
Sergeant Phipps ran up. “Sloane! What the fuck you doin’?”
Mike’s stony eyes froze. Whirling his bayonet, he slit Phipps’s throat. The remaining squad advanced.
“Trap!” Mike shouted, surrounded by the bloody carnage. “Can’t trust anyone!”
“That your bayonet, Sloane?”

Reads like Sloane would make a good politician. Sure knows how to make a bad situation politically correct.

From what I read, that probably occurred more often the military would be willing to admit.
