"That's the way it should be..." David nodded as he listened. >For my concern for my men, I recieved an administrative reprimand. Admiral Van >Der Loo took exception to my choice of actions. I did disobey orders by >pursuing the matter with Col. Justinian, so I got what I deserved. However, my >men got what no one deserves." David could tell that the Col. was a bit angry >about the situation. Afterall, his men were still in the base's sickbay. "Thank you..." he documented it and secured the info once again. "I'll be honest Colonel...I have documented a number of unacceptable actions-all by the MAG personnel...shooting unarmed men or men who were defenseless on the ground. I am extremely concerned." > "We share the same concerns, Captain. It is not just my people that are being shot. The civies out here are victims as well. While I can not prove it, I most certainly suspect it. When you consider that when a Marine company carries out a mission identical to one that the MAGs do, and the civilian casuality rates don't even come close. My guys and girls come back with a few injuries to the civies. Mags come back with body bags. The look on the faces of the local is classic, they are not happy to see either of us, but they know that we won't shoot unless we have to. The mags shoot for sport. Locals know that they will be treated fairly by us, and who knows my most MAG units." ***** Chris GM- SPD & JSOC
