It was bound to happen and according to allegations it happened sometime around 1422. It seems our esteemed predecessors were charged with an unlawful act. In fact, the investigators were looking for a murder site. It was claimed that they had shot a man in cold blood, while he lay on the ground beside his compliantly stopped vehicle.
This came as a shock to me, as it does to all the witnesses interviewed on 21st Century news crews, as friends and neighbors of violent criminals. We had lived and worked with these fine men for several weeks before they returned to the present century. How could I possibly have slept so peacefully under the Taliban 107mm greeting cards, only yards from these cold blooded killers?
They were the consumate professionals, kind and generous men that consistently proclaimed the Afghan right to an AK-47 and a bag of hash. Still, we had to live with this new reality, that according to JAG, our lives may have been spared in the night, simply due to their fatique from a day of wanton murder.
It was ordered, we would set aside all we knew of their professionality, their generosity, and their fairness. We would receive and we would keep safe a team of investigators intent on proving their
Missions were delayed or cancelled to achieve success of the new mission: to get these Blue Falcons everywhere they needed to go, to shovel every bit of dirt they needed to shovel, and most importantly to get their skeered little butts on "the first thing smokin'" before they came up with some bogus charge on us. They particularly liked that last part.
The Alamo scared the hell out of them, just being there, let alone going out into Indian Country where the shoveling was. But shoveling was done, as quickly as their blisters allowed and they were kept safe in Indian Country while they dug up bodies and bullets to prove Our Brothers guilt.
The story was that our predecessors had stopped a pickup, ordered its occupants out, and shot one of them. The family claimed he was unarmed and lying on the ground. The family wanted their compensation. The Soldiers claimed he had a rifle and was bringing it to bear on them. I wasn't the judge, the jury or the prosecutor, unfortunately for the defendants.
At any rate, they got their grave robbing done and we had them on the "next thing smokin" which made everyone breath a little easier. Everyone was a bit further from their worst fears with the Blue Falcons back in the rear.
And a while later the family arrived at the gates. They wanted their sons rifle.
